What is Spouse Information Affidavit – Pinellas County, FL?
The Spouse Information Affidavit is the Pinellas County Property Appraiser form that collects the personal and residency details of a property owner's spouse so the office can finish processing an exemption application.
The form explains its own purpose: the Property Appraiser's records reflect the owner's marital status, but the office does not have the spousal information required to process applications. The form says the office wants you to keep receiving all the benefits to which you are entitled, and that the information must be completed and signed by your spouse.
The top of the form identifies the file: Parcel ID Number, Owner Name, Spouse Name, Mailing Address and Physical Address. The body then asks the spouse for a Social Security number, birth date and birth state or country, marriage date, latest permanent Florida resident date, occupancy date, citizenship, Florida voter ID and vehicle tag numbers, employer, the address on the last IRS income tax return, and whether other properties are owned in Florida or any other state.
The form's note says the Social Security number is mandatory under Section 196.011(1), Florida Statutes, and is used to verify taxpayer identity information and homestead exemption information submitted to property appraisers. It is a supporting affidavit, not an application on its own.
Who needs to file Spouse Information Affidavit – Pinellas County, FL?

- The owner identifies the file at the top (Parcel ID Number, Owner Name, Spouse Name, Mailing Address, Physical Address).
