In his November newsletter, Marty Kiar, states one job of his office is to assist all Broward residents in obtaining every tax-saving exemption for which they are eligible.

The tax bill you received this month from the Broward County Tax Collector is for the 2025 tax year.  If you acquired your home in 2025 and the previous owners of your new home lawfully received Homestead Exemption or any other exemption on January 1, 2025, you may have inherited their exemptions on your 2025 property tax bill.  Florida Statutes require these 2025 exemptions to be removed, and the property be reassessed at the full Just/Market Value for 2026.  This may result in an increase in your 2026 property taxes.  It is important that you apply for your own Homestead Exemption in your name if you believe you are eligible for 2026.
