Hurricane Ian did billions of dollars worth of damage to South Florida, and if your home was damaged in the storm, there's a property tax break that you might be able to take advantage of. I know it's not going to magically fix all your problems, but if you can save a little money on your tax bill...well, every little bit helps!
Many Florida homeowners qualify for a break on their 2022 property taxes, and could collect hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. A little-known law passed in December could give homeowners some relief--if your home was rendered uninhabitable for 30 days or more, you may be eligible for a refund of some of the money you spent on living expenses.
You have until April 3rd to apply for the refund at your county property appraiser's website. If you miss the deadline, you waive the refund, so don't wait! Even if this doesn't apply to you, you may have friends that could benefit from this so pass it on!
Fill out form DR-5001 and file in your county.
