Bought a home in Florida? 🏡 Don’t forget about Homestead Exemption.

If the property is your permanent residence, you may qualify for an exemption that can reduce the taxable value of your home by up to $50,000. You apply through your county property appraiser’s office, and eligibility is determined by that office.

For first-time filing, the usual deadline is March 1 for that tax year, and you generally need to own and make the property your permanent residence as of January 1.

It’s one of those little homeowner tasks you definitely don’t want to forget. 🔑✨

That’s today’s Yesie’s Tip. 😉

Looking for new construction in Jacksonville? 🏡✨

Take a look at The Carson Townhome by D.R. Horton, a two-story home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a 1-car garage, and just under 1,500 sq. ft.

I really like this one for anyone who wants something new, modern, and easy to maintain without needing a huge home.
And the location is a big plus too, you’re on Jacksonville’s Northside, close to River City Marketplace, restaurants, shopping, everyday conveniences, and Jacksonville International Airport. ✈️

Another new construction option in Jacksonville 👀🏡

Meet the Greyson II by D.R. Horton, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and about 1,373 sq. ft.

I like this floor plan because it feels simple, modern, and easy to maintain without giving up the space you need.
The open main living area makes the home feel comfortable, and having all the bedrooms plus the laundry room upstairs is definitely convenient.
