- NEW Amendment 2: New Property Tax Exemption For Deployed Active Duty Military
Personnel
On November 2, 2010, Florida voters approved Amendment 2. This law provides an
additional property tax exemption for certain members of the United States military who
have been deployed to selected areas of operation outside the continental United States,
Alaska, or Hawaii in support of military operations. This exemption will take effect as of
January 1, 2011 and there will be a required application yearly. There is not a set dollar
amount to be exempt. It is based on the time deployed during the preceding calendar year.
Summary of Amendment: By general law and subject to conditions specified therein, each
person who receives a homestead exemption as provided in section 6 Florida Constitution;
who was a member of the US military or military reserves, the US Coast Guard or its
reserves, or the Florida National Guard; and who was deployed during the preceding
calendar year on active duty outside the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii in
support of military operations designated by the legislature shall receive an additional
exemption equal to a percentage of the taxable value of his or her homestead property. The
applicable percentage shall be calculated as the number of days during the preceding
calendar year the person was deployed on active duty outside the continental United
States, Alaska, or Hawaii in support of military operations designated by the Legislature
divided by the number of days in that year. The amendment is scheduled to take effect
January 1, 2011. DR-501M
