Homestead exemption applications are filed with the county property appraiser, and the property tax bill is issued by the county tax collector. Two different offices, two different websites, and the state Department of Revenue is neither of them.
Below is every Florida county: the property appraiser, the tax collector, whether the appraiser accepts an online homestead application, and a direct link to that county's own tax estimator where one exists.
Estimate the effect of the exemption
The calculator below applies the 2026 exemption structure to numbers you enter. It is arithmetic, not an assessment — your county's own estimator, linked in the table, uses your actual parcel and your actual millage rates.
Homestead savings estimator (2026 figures)
Millage rates vary by county, city and special district and change every year. The defaults above are placeholders, not your rates — your actual millage appears on your TRIM notice each August and on your county property appraiser's website. A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of taxable value. This estimate ignores non-ad-valorem assessments (solid waste, fire, stormwater), any additional exemptions, and the Save Our Homes cap. It is an illustration only and is not a tax bill.
All 67 county property appraisers and tax collectors
Links go to the offices' official websites. Search results for Florida property
appraisers are heavily populated with private lookalike sites at addresses such as
<county>countypropertyappraiser.org; none of those appear below.
“Check site” in the last column means the appraiser's website did not state either way when this page was compiled, usually because the site is small or blocked automated access — not that online filing is unavailable. Call the office or check its exemptions page.
Office websites, portals and estimator URLs change. If a link here is dead, search for the county name plus “property appraiser” and confirm you are on an official government site before entering any personal information.
