What is Exemption Cancellation Form – Osceola County, FL?
The Exemption Cancellation Form is the Osceola County Property Appraiser's one-page form on which the owner or owners of a parcel request that one or more property exemptions be cancelled for a stated tax roll year.
The form identifies the property by parcel ID number and property address and asks for the tax roll year to be cancelled, the date and an e-mail address. A box lets the owner also ask for a change of mailing address, with a new address, city/state, ZIP code and phone number.
The section titled EXEMPTION TO BE CANCELLED lists the exemptions that can be removed, each with a place for the owner's initials:
- Homestead Exemption, with a move out date and a rental date;
- Widow/Widower Exemption, with the marriage date if the owner has remarried;
- Disability Exemption, with the type checked: Disability, Veteran's Disability or Total & Permanent Disability;
- Senior Exemption and Granny Flat.
By signing, the owners state that they understand removal of the exemption will change or increase the taxes on the property and authorize the Property Appraiser's Office to carry out the request. The bottom of the page is a FOR OFFICE USE ONLY block with a line for the representative's signature. The form is a request to cancel an exemption, not an application for one.
Who needs to file Exemption Cancellation Form – Osceola County, FL?
The owner or owners of a property in Osceola County who hold an exemption and want it cancelled use this form. The statement above the signature lines reads "I/We ... am/are the owner(s) of the above described property," and the page has two print-name and signature lines, so each owner who is requesting the cancellation signs.
The exemptions the form covers, each with its own condition line:
- Homestead Exemption: enter the move out date and, if the home was rented, the rental date.
- Widow/Widower Exemption: if the owner has remarried, provide the marriage date.
- Disability Exemption: check the type, either Disability, Veteran's Disability or Total & Permanent Disability.
- Senior Exemption and Granny Flat.
Owners who also want the Property Appraiser to update the mailing address for the parcel can complete the mailing address block on the same form.
Do not use this form to apply for an exemption. It only asks the office to remove one. The form does not describe any representative or power of attorney signing for an owner.
When to file Exemption Cancellation Form – Osceola County, FL
Use the form when an exemption on your property no longer applies and you want it removed. The form itself points to the events that trigger a cancellation: a move out date or a rental date for a Homestead Exemption, and a marriage date if a widow or widower has remarried. No separate deadline is printed on the form.
The form asks you to name the tax roll year to be cancelled, so decide which year the cancellation should cover before you start and enter it at the top. The form warns that removing an exemption will change or increase the taxes on the property. For timing questions about a particular year, contact the Osceola County Property Appraiser at 407-742-5000.
