Ways to pay less
- Seniors 65+ with limited income: extra exemptions. Broward County raised the Low-Income Senior's Additional Homestead Exemption to $50,000 for the county portion of the tax bill, and Hollywood is on the Property Appraiser's list of cities that have adopted the Senior Citizen's Additional Homestead Exemption. Hollywood also adopted the Long-term Residency Senior Exemption for the city's portion of the bill, for seniors who have lived on the property at least 25 years and whose property had a just value under $250,000 for the initial year of application. For 2027 you must be 65 or older on January 1, 2027, have the homestead exemption, and have 2026 household adjusted gross income not exceeding $38,686. How: Submit the Adjusted Gross Household Income Sworn Statement to the Broward County Property Appraiser on or before March 1, 2027.
- Disabled veterans: $5,000 or full homestead exemption. $5,000 Veteran's Disability Exemption: the disability must be military service-related, incurred during a period of wartime service or by misfortune, and at least 10% before January 1; the veteran must be a permanent resident of the State of Florida, and the surviving spouse of an eligible disabled veteran may also claim it if he or she has not remarried. Full exemption: any honorably discharged veteran with a service-connected total and permanent disability is entitled to an exemption on real estate used and owned as a homestead. How: For the $5,000 exemption, a copy of your Certificate of Disability from the U.S. Government or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (or its predecessor agency); for the full exemption, a certificate from the US Government or US Department of Veterans Affairs.
- Disabled veterans and first responders: no fire rescue assessment. Hollywood does not impose its fire rescue assessment on a homestead owned by a veteran honorably discharged with a service-connected total and permanent disability, or by a first responder totally and permanently disabled in the line of duty, when the Property Appraiser has determined the property is exempt from ad valorem taxation. The residential fire rescue assessment is $364 per dwelling unit for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026. How: It applies when the Property Appraiser has determined that the property is exempt from ad valorem taxation.
