This week the 2009 Homestead Exemption Renewal and Tax Assessors newsletter arrived in your home.

If you have a Homestead Exemption, you do not need to take action to renew.  If you do not have it, GET IT, if the property is your primary residence, so you can save money on your taxes!

In these notices there is a request for less than two minutes of your time to assist with data accuracy.

In this 2009 Homestead Exemption Renewal Notice your Property ID is given (If you live in Coral Springs or parts of Parkland this number starts with 4841 and is a total of 12 digits long.  Also on the two sided flyer is a Pin Number for your property.  (All Broward county property ID numbers are 12 digits.Log onto http://www.bcpa.net/survey

Enter the Property ID number (0000-00-00-0000) and the Pin Number provided on the paperwork from the Tax Appraiser and then answer the multiple choice questions.

How many bedrooms, garage, pool etc...

This takes less than 2 minutes to complete the whole process and MIGHT save you money in the accuracy of your tax information relative to your property. 

An opportunity to save money is worth two minutes of your time!  Even though you do this now, any benefit will not be seen until November this year, because taxes are paid in arrears.

This is overall good for you and admittedly it is good for Realtors and Appraisers too.  When we try to evaluate properties for pricing, way too often the information about your property is not correct on the tax rolls.

So THANKS!  We appreciate your help too!
