Florida Tax Relief Information

Like all states, Florida requires residents to pay certain taxes. While these individuals don’t owe personal income tax, the State of Florida does collect sales, use, intangible and corporate income taxes. Also, individual counties in this state receive much of their funding through property taxes, which vary by county and the property’s value. In some cases, however, you may be able to benefit from tax exemptions that reduce how much you owe.

If you need assistance understanding Florida tax information or identifying exemptions you may qualify for, contact our helpful tax consultants at BC Tax today. We offer tax help for individuals and small businesses in Florida and nationwide. Learn more about Florida tax exemptions you may qualify for below.

Florida Property Tax Exemptions

There are several property tax exemptions you may be eligible for if you reside in Florida. Florida’s property tax exemptions include the Homestead Exemption, Save Our Homes Assessment Limitation and Portability Transfer, and the Fallen Heroes of Family Tax Relief Act.

Homestead Exemption, Save Our Homes Assessment Limitation and Portability Transfer

Florida’s Homestead Exemption dictates that if someone permanently resides in a property they own, they may qualify to receive an exemption that would diminish its taxable value by up to $50,000. This exemption makes the home eligible for the Save Our Homes assessment limitation, where a homeowner can transfer a fraction or all of the difference to a new Florida homestead.

Property owners or first responders who are senior citizens, widows or widowers, veterans, or active duty military service members or have disabilities might qualify for additional property tax exemptions or benefits. Likewise, buildings with particular uses, like charter school facilities, religious buildings or hospitals, may be eligible for property tax exemptions or benefits.

Fallen Heroes of Family Tax Relief Act

If you’re a surviving spouse of a first responder who died in the line of duty, you could be eligible for a homestead property exemption.

Hurricane Ian Relief

Individuals or businesses affected by Hurricane Ian may qualify for tax relief if they reside or conduct business within the covered disaster area. Individuals or the family members of individuals who visited the covered disaster area and were killed or harmed might qualify for Hurricane Ian tax relief.

Additionally, relief workers who assisted in Hurricane Ian relief efforts and are recognized by a government or philanthropic organization may be eligible for Florida tax exemptions.

Important Distinction: Tax Consultant vs. Attorney Representation

I want to clarify both the timeline and why this experience remains relevant today.

My issue with BC Tax occurred approximately five months ago. While that period has passed, the actions taken by the non-attorney tax consultant assigned to my case continue to surface in my current interactions, despite my account now being handled successfully and professionally by an attorney-led tax firm.

This is why the experience remains concerning.

When I made the decision to disengage from BC Tax due to the consultant’s conduct, she immediately contacted the taxing authority in a disparaging manner upon withdrawing her power of attorney. That action created a narrative and paper trail that has followed my case forward—long after I moved on and secured proper legal representation.

This highlights an important distinction consumers should understand:

BC Tax is a tax consulting firm, not a law firm.
The individuals handling cases are tax consultants, not licensed attorneys.

That distinction matters.

• Tax consultants are not held to the same ethical, legal, or professional standards as attorneys
• They do not operate under attorney licensing boards or legal codes of conduct
• Their actions can still materially affect a taxpayer’s case, even after the relationship ends

To be fair and accurate:
The owner, Mr. Barr, was kind, and Mr. Herr, whom I initially spoke with, was professional and helpful. Unfortunately, the consultant ultimately assigned to my case undermined that initial experience and created lasting complications.

I am now working with an attorney-led tax firm, where my matter is being handled with professionalism, discretion, and results—without volatility or retaliation.

I am sharing this review so others can make fully informed decisions. When dealing with serious tax matters, representation matters, and there is a meaningful difference between working with a tax consultant and working with licensed attorneys.

Amanda Lira and her team at BC Tax really performed very well for us. After struggling to recover a tax refund for more than two years, Amanda got it done in less than 6 months. Highly recommend Amanda!

I came to BC Tax after nearly two years of angst with my former CPA and his inability to work with the IRS and get my taxes done in a timely manner and an audit closed. I was hesitant to go with BC Tax as I had not heard of them, however, after speaking with Corrinda I decided to go with them. Corrinda was wonderful, responsive and worked with the IRS to remove a late filing penalty due to my former CPA's lack of timeliness. She and Margaret responded to my emails and answered all of my questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone struggling to work with the IRS to get an audit completed. D. Walton
