Property Tax Refund / Credit

Property values and tax bills for the 2024 tax year are based on values as of January 1, 2024. While 2024 tax bills will not be reduced, residential property owners are eligible for a partial property tax refund due to damage associated with a catastrophic event if certain conditions are met:

• The property must be rendered uninhabitable from damage associated with a hurricane or other catastrophic event for a minimum of 30 days from the date of the event.

• The owner must provide our office a completed form DR-465/PC-465 Application for Catastrophic Event Tax Refund as per Section 197.319, Florida Statutes.​​

• The DR-465/PC-465 form must be accompanied by supporting documentation showing the real property could not be inhabited after the catastrophic event to include utility bills, insurance claims, contractor statements, permit applications, or certificates of occupancy.

• The deadline to file for the refund is March 1 of the year immediately following the catastrophic event.

• The taxpayer is still responsible for paying property taxes owed before the refund can be issued.

• Refunds will be issued to the taxpayer after confirmation that the above conditions have been met.
