TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY TAX EXEMPTION

Helpful Information For Our Disabled Clients

Florida residents who own a home and are totally and permanently disabled may be eligible for a total permanent disability tax exemption.  Visit the Florida Department of Revenue’s website and print out form DR-416 for your doctor to complete.  Once complete, retain the original for yourself, and either call or go to the Property Appraiser website for the county you live in to find the instructions for the process on submitting a copy of your DR-416 form.

Please note that a certification from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or Social Security Administration may possibly be accepted in lieu of a DR-416 form (Again, check with your county property appraiser regarding this).

If you have a completed DR-416 form or certification from the VA or SSA, let our office know!
