Senior Citizen Exemption
The Property Appraiser's Office is pleased to provide you this Senior Citizen Exemption form.
Certain seniors who are 65 or older may be eligible for an additional $25,000 property tax exemption on their home's assessed value. This additional $25,000 benefit to qualified seniors applies only to taxes levied by Palm Beach County, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Springs and Wellington. The town of Royal Palm Beach offers $5,000 senior citizen exemption. To qualify, your adjusted gross income must meet a maximum level that is adjusted annually by Florida's Department of Revenue. The income limitation amount is available from our office in mid-January of each year. The current income limit is about $25,000. This does not include tax-exempt bond interest or non-taxable social security income. You will be asked to provide a copy of your Federal 1040 Tax Form or your Social Security 1099 Form.
