Total and Permanent Disability Exemptions are available for homeowners who have a total and permanent disability.

Veterans Exemptions exist in a number of different forms.
A veteran documented as disabled by 10% or more in war or service-connected events can earn an additional exemption of $5,000 on any owned property.
An honorably discharged veteran who is totally and permanently disabled or requires a wheelchair for mobility due to their service can be exempt from all property taxes. In some circumstances, this benefit can be transferred to a surviving spouse.
An honorably discharged and disabled veteran who is 65 or older who was a Florida resident when they entered military service may be eligible for an additional exemption. The disability must be permanent and must have been acquired as a result of the military service. The property tax will be discounted based on the percent of the disability.
Members of the military deployed during the last calendar year can receive exemptions based on the percent of time during the year they were deployed.
