Florida Veterans: You May Be Eligible for State or Local Tax Exemptions

Some state tax laws provide veterans and their surviving spouses with state, county or local tax relief.  VA assists veterans to receive these benefits by providing letters verifying their military service and disability evaluations.

Florida veterans and survivors are advised to contact their county property tax appraiser's office on the Internet at http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/appraisers.html or tax collectors office at http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/property/taxcollectors.html with any questions about Florida state tax abatement programs.

Any veteran who receives VA disability compensation, but does not receive a letter or has any questions about the information contained in the letter should contact their local VA Regional Office by calling VA's toll-free number, 1-800-827-1000.  VA encourages veterans and their families to check the letters carefully and contact VA if they have any concerns.
