how much does the homestead exemption reduce your property taxes
Florida property tax homestead exemption reduces the value of a home for assessment of property taxes by $50,000, so a home that was actually worth $100,000 would be taxed as though it was worth only $50,000.
Public Act 98-0007, which passed into law in 2013, increased the General Homestead Exemption (a reduction in the Equalized Assessed Value) amount from $6,000 to $7,000 for Cook County beginning with the 2012 tax year (property taxes payable in 2013).
