Broward Property Tax Discounts

Описание: If you own a home in Broward County, this is one video you should not skip.
In this episode, I sit down with Marty Kiar, Broward County Property Appraiser, to break down the most important programs homeowners need to understand if they want to avoid overpaying on property taxes.
We cover:

• How the Save Our Homes cap really works

• What Portability is and why so many homeowners miss out on it

• The most common property tax exemptions available in Broward County

Save Our Homes (SOH)
• Applies to primary residences only

• Caps annual assessed value increases at the lesser of 3% or CPI

• Protects homeowners from sharp tax increases over time
Deadline: March 1

Potential savings: Thousands over long-term ownership


Portability
• Transfers your Save Our Homes savings from a prior Florida homestead

• Up to $500,000 of assessed value difference can be moved

• Applies when buying a new primary residence in Florida
Deadline: March 1

Big mistake: Assuming it transfers automatically (it does not)


Common Broward County Property Tax Exemptions
• Homestead Exemption (up to $50,000 off assessed value)

• Senior exemptions (age + income-based)

• Veteran and disability exemptions

• Widow / widower exemption

• Low-income senior tax freeze (qualifying households)
Each exemption has specific eligibility requirements, and homeowners should recheck them regularly.

• Filing deadlines and mistakes that can cost you thousands
Most homeowners don’t realize these savings are not automatic and missing a deadline can permanently impact your tax bill.
Whether you’re a longtime homeowner, recently purchased, or planning to move within Florida, this conversation will help you make smarter decisions and keep more money in your pocket.
