Ways to pay less
- Seniors 65+ with limited income: extra exemption. The Property Appraiser lists Tamarac among the cities that enacted the long-term residency senior exemption, which exempts the ad valorem city taxes for qualified residents. The applicant must have maintained permanent residence on the property for at least 25 years and the property must have a just value less than $250,000 for the initial year of application. How: Submit the Adjusted Gross Household Income Sworn Statement to the Broward County Property Appraiser on or before the March 1, 2027 deadline.
- Veterans with a service-connected disability: $5,000 exemption. Veterans with a service-related disability of at least 10% before January 1 can get a $5,000 exemption. How: Apply to the Broward County Property Appraiser with a copy of your Certificate of Disability from the U.S. Government or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
- Pay your tax bill in November for 4% off. Broward tax bills paid in full get 4% off in November, 3% in December, 2% in January and 1% in February. Partial payments forfeit the discounts. How: Pay the Broward County Tax Collector in full in November.
