Are you looking to claim the property tax homestead exemption for the 2016 tax year? Did you have legal or equitable title in the property as of January 1, 2016? Were you living in the property as your primary residence as of January 1, 2016?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, then you meet the criteria for claiming the exemption. The deadline for filing for the homestead exemption is TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 2016. Filing can be done online on the Pinellas County Appraiser’s Website, or you can visit one of their physical offices.
