Here is some more information for you about the upcoming tax changes for Marion County, FL:
On January 29, Florida voters approved Amendment 1 that provides additional tax relief to property owners. The Amendment has four provisions. Below is the information you need to know about each provision:
1. Doubling the Homestead - this allows an additional exemption of $25,000 to apply to the value between $50,000 and $75,000. For instance: for a home valued at $72,000, the first $25,000 is tax exempt; taxes are due on the second $25,000. Then, $22,000 would be tax exempt as that's the amount that's more than $50,000. The additional $25,000 exemption would be applied to all levies with the exception of school districts.Filing Information - NoneAction Required - No action required by the property owner.
2. Portability - this allows homestead property owners to transfer up to $500,000 of their Save-Our-Homes benefits within 1 year and not more than 2 years after relinquishing their previous homestead. If the homestead is more valuable than the old homestead, a taxpayer can transfer the entire old CAP dollar amount (up to $500,000 CAP transfer). If a taxpayer downsizes, the percentage of protection will transfer to the new homestead. In other words, if they had 50% protection before, they will have 50% protection in the new downsized home (up to $500,000 CAP transfer).Filing Information - To qualify for this benefit for 2008 you must have received homestead exemption on your previous Florida property for 2007 and be claiming homestead exemption on your new property for 2008.Action Required - Complete steps 1 through 5 on DR501T form and return it to the property appraiser's office by March 1, 2008.

Action Required - Taxpayer must file a Tangible Personal Property Return DR405 or if they filed a 2007 Tangible Personal Property Return they can file a DR-405EZ Return instead.
