Important Changes to the Low Income Senior Exemption for 2013 On November 6, 2012, voters approved Amendment 11 authorizing counties and cities to grant a new additional homestead exemption for qualified seniors under the following conditions: Age 65 or older Household Adjusted Gross income is less than $27,030 (20121imit; Income limit is adjusted annually) Homesteaded property has a market value less than $250,000 Homesteaded property is their permanent residence for at least 25 years This exemption can only be granted by a super majority of the members of the county or municipal governing body. Additionally, the existing senior exemption that can be granted to qualifying seniors is now a flat $50,000, instead of an amount up to $50,000. Each county or city can adopt an ordinance granting either or both of these additional exemptions for qualifying seniors. For more information, see the DeRartment of Revenue Property Tax Oversight Bulletin . .,;~ TRIM Notice The Office of the Property Appraiser urges you to read your TRIM Notice carefully. Although the Notice states, this is not a bill, it reflects what your 2012 taxes are likely to be on your November 2012 property tax bill. TRIM Notice Required Partial Payment of Taxes to Avoid Denial of Your Petition (Section 194-014, F.S.) State law requires a partial payment of taxes on properties that have a value adjustment board petition on or after the payment delinquency date (normally April 1, following the assessment year under review but this date can vary). If the required partial payment is not made before the delinquency date, the value adjustment board will deny your petition. The last day to make the partial payment before the delinquency date is generally March 31. Review your tax bill or contact your tax collector to determine your delinquency date. Petitioners should be aware that even if a special magistrate's recommended decision has been issued, a partial payment is still required before the delinquency date. A special magistrate's recommended decision is not a final decision of the value adjustment board. A partial payment is not required only if the value adjustment board makes a final decision on a petition before April 1. The payment amount depends on the type of petition filed on the property. The partial payment requirements are summarized below. Value Appeals: For petitions on the value of property (and for petitions about portability), the payment before the delinquency date must include: All of the non-ad valorem assessments, and A partial payment of at least 75 percent of the ad valorem taxes, Less applicable discounts under s. 197.162, F.S. Other Assessment Appeals: For petitions on the denial of a classification or exemption, or based on an argument that the property was not substantially complete on January 1, the payment before the delinquency date must include: http:/ /www.miamidade.gov/P AI 7 1114/2013 Miami-Dade County-Property Appraiser-Welcome to the Office ofthe Property Apprai ...
