New Florida Homeowner? File for Homestead Exemption by March 1, 2024

By Leave a Comment

File for Your Homestead Exemption Before March 1, 2024 & Save on Your Property Taxes.

File for Florida homestead exemption by March 1, 2024.

Don’t forget! If you purchased a primary residence in Florida in 2023, you likely qualify for a homestead exemption of up to $50,000. That means that your property tax will be based on your home’s assessed value, minus the amount of your exemption (up to $50,000). That can mean big savings.

Of course, you must meet certain criteria set forth by the state of Florida, but most homeowners who can count their Florida home as their primary residence as of January 1, 2024 will qualify. This year, both Duval & St. Johns County allow homeowners to file online.

For complete requirements and details, follow the appropriate link below:

PSA – Legal Age to Drive Golf Carts on Public Streets Changes on July 1, 2023

By Leave a Comment

New law aims to improve public safety on Florida roads.

New law affecting golf carts goes into effect July 1, 2023

St. Johns County, Florida, is home to a number of golf cart friendly communities. So it’s important to know the laws related to operating a golf cart on public streets. And the current law is about to change. Right now, teens as young as 14 years old can drive a golf cart on the street. But come July 1, a new law goes into effect that limits the operation of golf carts to the following:

  • Individuals at least 15 years old who hold a valid learner’s permit
  • Licensed drivers aged 16 years and older
  • Anyone 18 years old or older with a valid state ID

Residents in Nocatee, Beachwalk, Rivertown, Beacon Lake and many other communities will want to be aware of the new law, which you can read more about here.
