What is Parcel Combination Request – Pinellas County, FL?
The Parcel Combination Request is the Pinellas County Property Appraiser form on which a property owner or agent asks the office to combine two or more parcels into one parcel for the tax roll, after answering eligibility questions.
The form has four parts. Section 1 – Eligibility asks eight questions about ownership, taxing district, contiguity, unpaid taxes, lender consent, commercial and homestead parcels, and condominium units, followed by a line for the reason for the request. Section 2 – Homesteaded Parcels Only is completed only when one of the parcels has the Homestead Exemption and the related Save Our Homes assessment benefit. Section 3 – Property Information lists each parcel ID and address and marks which parcels have homestead exemption (HX). Section 4 – Affidavit carries the sworn declaration and the signatures.
The form warns that combining parcels may change taxable value, exemptions, capped value and/or taxes. The Property Appraiser's office does not decide whether the parcels meet legal requirements for development; the form says to contact the county or municipality that governs the property for that. The revision printed on the form is rev 01/26, and the form carries no separate form number.
Who needs to file Parcel Combination Request – Pinellas County, FL?
Property owners, or agents acting for them, use this request when they want parcels combined into one on the Pinellas County tax roll. The form says it may be submitted by property owners or agents.
Eligibility is limited. If you answer No to any of the first four questions in Section 1, the form states that you are not eligible to combine parcels. Those questions ask whether:
- title to the parcels or units is in the same ownership and tenancy status of record;
- all parcels are in the same municipal or taxing district;
- all properties are contiguous, legally and/or physically;
- all current and delinquent taxes due are paid.
A commercial parcel cannot be joined with a homestead parcel (question 6 asks you to confirm this). Condominium units must be physically joined (question 7). Owners whose parcels include one with homestead exemption also complete Section 2.
The current owner(s) of record, or an agent with a power of attorney, must sign. If there is more than one owner, the form has a line for an additional owner signature.
When to file Parcel Combination Request – Pinellas County, FL
Submit the request when you want two or more parcels combined on the tax roll and every Section 1 eligibility answer allows it. The form prints no filing deadline or processing time, and it sets no annual cycle: it is a one-time request for a particular set of parcels.
Before you file, confirm that all current and delinquent taxes due are paid, because a No to that question makes the parcels ineligible. If one parcel has a lender, question 5 asks whether the lender gave written consent. Because a combination may change taxable value, exemptions, capped value and/or taxes, think about those effects before you sign. Granting the request remains at the discretion of the Property Appraiser's office.
Documents you need
- Supporting documentation for Section 2, attached to the request, only when one of the parcels receives the Homestead Exemption and the related Save Our Homes assessment benefit.
- An attached sheet listing additional parcels, only if Section 3 does not have room for all of them.
- A power of attorney, when an agent rather than the owner of record signs the request; the form requires the signer to be an owner of record or an agent with a power of attorney.
How to fill out Parcel Combination Request – Pinellas County, FL
Review the request terms
Read the opening text: the request goes to the GIS/Mapping Department, granting is at the Property Appraiser's discretion, and combining parcels may affect taxable value, exemptions, capped value and/or taxes.
Answer the core eligibility questions
In Section 1, questions 1 to 4, mark Yes or No on same ownership and tenancy of record, same municipal or taxing district, contiguity, and payment of all current and delinquent taxes. A No to any of them means the parcels are not eligible.
Answer lender and property-type questions
Questions 5 to 8 ask about written lender consent, confirmation that a commercial parcel is not joined with a homestead parcel, whether condominium units are physically joined, and whether a residential parcel has homestead exemption. Use N/A where the form offers it and the question does not apply.
State the reason for the request
Write your reason for combining the parcels on the Reason for Request line below Section 1.
Describe the secondary parcel
Complete Section 2 only if a parcel has homestead exemption. Mark Vacant or Improved in question 1, then answer question 2 on residents and question 3 on rental, naming who resides there if Yes.
Explain use and plans
In Section 2, questions 4 to 7, describe how you use the secondary parcel or building, whether utilities are on and in whose name, your plans for it, and whether and when you will demolish it. Attach supporting documentation.
List each parcel in Section 3
For every parcel enter the parcel ID and address, give multiple site addresses if assigned with the main property address indicated, and check HX for each parcel with homestead exemption. Attach a sheet for additional parcels.
Read the Section 4 affidavit
The affidavit lets the Pinellas County Property Appraiser obtain information to determine homestead eligibility, if applicable. It warns that knowingly false information to claim Homestead Exemption is a first-degree misdemeanor under Section 196.131(2), Florida Statutes.
Complete signature blocks
The owner of record, or an agent with a power of attorney, signs and dates, then prints name and title and enters phone. Email is optional because it is public record. A second owner uses the Additional Owner Signature block.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Requesting a combination after answering No to any of questions 1 to 4 in Section 1; the form states you are not eligible to combine parcels in that case.
- Trying to join a commercial parcel with a homestead parcel; question 6 asks you to confirm this is not happening.
- Skipping Section 2 when one parcel has homestead exemption, or leaving out the supporting documentation it asks for.
- Not marking the HX box in Section 3 for each parcel that has homestead exemption.
- Listing only some parcels in Section 3 instead of attaching a sheet for the additional ones.
- Having someone sign who is neither a current owner of record nor an agent with a power of attorney.
- Leaving out the second owner's signature when the parcels have more than one owner of record.
- Entering an email address when you do not want it released: the form says email addresses are public record under Section 119.01, Florida Statutes.
