Bill Summary

Deleting a condition that a veteran or his or her surviving spouse have received a specified homestead tax exemption to qualify for a prorated refund of ad valorem taxes paid on homestead property acquired during a specified timeframe; specifying a requirement for qualifying for the prorated refund, etc.

AI Summary

This bill amends a provision in Florida law that allows for a prorated refund of ad valorem (property) taxes paid on homestead property acquired by a totally and permanently disabled veteran or their surviving spouse. The bill removes the requirement that the veteran or spouse must have previously received a homestead tax exemption on another property to qualify for the refund. Instead, it specifies that the veteran must have been qualified as having a service-connected total and permanent disability as of the date the new property was acquired. The amendments made by this bill will apply starting with the 2024 tax roll and take effect on July 1, 2023.
