IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Dear Property Owner:
Congratulations on your recent purchase of property in Manatee County. There are several personal tax
exemptions that may be available to you as a residential property owner if you qualify and apply for
them o n - l i n e or in person by the MARCH 1 DEADLINE. In order to qualify for homestead
exemption, permanent Florida residency must be established as of January 1. You will be required to
provide the following information for each applicant: Social Security Number, Valid Florida Driver’s License or
Florida ID, Florida Vehicle Registration, and Florida Voter’s Registration or Resident Alien Documentation.
Additional information may also be requested to verify an applicant’s eligibility. Our office encourages you to
take advantage of our on-line homestead application system at www.ManateePAO.com.
If the tax notice on the property you have recently purchased reflects a homestead exemption, it may have been
granted to the previous owner. If you move to a different residence, you must reapply for the exemption.
Once your exemption is granted, it will automatically renew each year as long as there are no changes in
status. This also applies to properties with an Agricultural Classification (Greenbelt). The exemption or
classification is granted to the individual not the property. You must reapply as the new owner.
P
lease visit our website for additional information on homestead, low income senior exemptions,
Save Our Homes and Portability. If you have additional questions, please contact our office and our Staff
will be happy to assist you.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Hackney

NOTICE:
A tax lien can be imposed on your property pursuant to 196.161, Florida Statutes. Section 196.161 (1) provides:
(1) (a)When the estate of any person is being probated or administered in another state under an allegation that such person was
a resident of that state and the estate of such person contains real property situated in this state upon which
homestead exemption has been allowed pursuant to s. 196.031 for any year or years within 10 years immediately prior to the
death of the deceased, then within 3 years after the death of such a person the property appraiser of the county where the real
property is located shall, upon knowledge of such fact, record a notice of tax lien against the property among the public
records of that county, and the property shall be subject to the payment of all taxes exempt thereunder, a penalty of 50 percent
of the unpaid taxes for each year, plus 15 percent interest per year, unless the circuit court having jurisdiction over
the ancillary administration in this state, determines that the decedent was a permanent resident of this state during the year or
years an exemption was allowed, whereupon the lien shall not be filed or, if filed, shall be canceled of record by the property
appraiser of the county w here the real estate is located. (b) In addition, upon determination by the property appraiser that for
any y ear or years within the prior 10 years a person who was not entitled to a homestead exemption was granted a homestead
exemption from ad valorem taxes, it shall be the duty of the property appraiser making such determination to serve upon
the owner a notice of intent to record in the public records of the county a notice of tax lien against any property owned by
that person in the county, and such property shall be identified in the notice of tax lien. Such property which is situated in this
state shall be subject to the taxes exempted thereby, plus a penalty of 50 percent of the unpaid taxes for each year and 15
percent interest per annum. However, if a homestead exemption is improperly granted as a result of a clerical mistake or
omission by the property appraiser, the person i mproperly receiving the exemption shall not be assessed penalty and interest.
Before any such lien may be filed, the owner so notified must be given 30 days to pay the taxes, penalties, and interest.
