A friendly reminder: Please visit the Sarasota County Property Appraiser's Office in South Venice to file for your 2010 Homestead Exemption by Monday, March 1st.
For homeowners who bought their home in 2009 and had a Homestead Exemption already in place when you bought your home, you need to file for your own exemption by Monday, March 1st or you will lose the exemption. When applying for the Homestead Exemption, you will need to bring several items listed below that serve as evidence of property ownership and Florida residence. Married couples are required to bring this information for both spouses. By the time you come into their office to file an application, it is very likely that your name will already be in their records showing you as the property owner. However, it is recommended that you bring with you a copy of one of the following:
- A valid Florida Driver's license showing correct address (if you do not drive visit www.sc-pa.com for additional requirements)
- A copy of your deed to the property, or
- Tax bill, or
- Notice of Proposed Property Taxes
All applicants are required by Florida law to provide their Social Security Number, according to Florida Statute 196.011(1)(b). Married individuals must always provide this information for their spouse, whether or not the spouse's name appears on the deed.
For additional information on Homestead and other Personal Exemptions please visit Sarasota County Property Appraiser's website at www.sc-pa.com.
