Ways to pay less
- Seniors 65+ with limited income: extra exemptions. Seniors 65 or older with a homestead exemption and 2026 household adjusted gross income of no more than $38,686 can get the low-income senior exemption, which applies to the county portion of the taxes and to city taxes in cities that adopted it. Broward County raised its amount to $50,000, and Oakland Park is listed among the cities that enacted the ordinance increasing the senior exemption to $50,000. Oakland Park also enacted the long-term residency senior exemption, which exempts city taxes for seniors who meet the age and income requirements, have lived in the home at least 25 years and whose property had a just value under $250,000 when they first applied. How: File the sworn income statement with the Broward County Property Appraiser by March 1, 2027 and income documents by June 1, 2027.
- Fire assessment exemption for low-income seniors and disabled homeowners. Oakland Park exempts residential homesteaded properties from the fire assessment when the Broward County Property Appraiser shows them receiving the low-income senior exemption or the total and permanent disability exemption. How: The exemption goes to homesteaded properties the Broward County Property Appraiser identifies as receiving one of those exemptions.
- $5,000 exemptions for widowed, blind and disabled residents.
