Approximately 15,000 Homestead Exemption applications and 408,000 Homestead Exemptions renewal forms were mailed to property owners. Online filing also is available on the website at www.miamidade.gov/pa.
Property owners are encouraged to read their renewal receipts and fraud flyer carefully to ensure they still qualify for their exemption(s). If the property owners remain eligible in 2019, no further action is needed; they should keep the document for their records.
