it looks like the condo I'm buying does not have homestead exemption on it (based on info provided on mls). I plan to close either last week of february or first week of March. Am I going to pay higher taxes even though I plan to make this my primary residence? I will be living in orange county, FL and the deadline to file for homestead is March 1st. But I think that is for next year's taxes. Will I have to dish out an additional $4000 when I close on the condo(with homestead exemption it would be $1400)? Is there any way around not having to pay unnecessary higher taxes?

If there is no homestead exemption, then you would be liable to pay higher taxes than those who already have the homestead exemption in place. I don't think you would be able to avoid higher taxes.

Hi Anne,

You should apply for the Homestead Exemption at your County Auditor's office. You should contact the office and the officer there would help you further in applying for the homestead.
