What is Sr Exemption Renewal Application – Pinellas County, FL?
The Sr Exemption Renewal Application, printed as Renewal Application for Low Income Senior Exemption, is the Pinellas County Property Appraiser form used to renew the low income senior exemption with household income information or to report that you no longer qualify.
The form has four parts. It starts with the Owner Name, Mailing Address and Physical Address. You then document household income in one of two ways. If you file an income tax return, you enter your total annual household adjusted gross income for 2025 and attach a copy of your IRS Form 1040. If you do not file a return, you list the amount of each type of income your household received in 2025 (Social Security, interest, retirement and other income), add them up on the last line and provide copies of the documentation.
A separate Exemption Removal section lets you state that you no longer qualify for the senior exemption and that you understand you must re-apply in the future if your income meets the statutory limit. The form refers to that limit but does not print it. The last part is the Affirmation Statement, made under the Florida Statutes and Section 196.131 (2), Florida Statutes.
Two dates are printed on the form: Application Deadline - March 1st and Income Documentation Deadline - June 1st.
Who needs to file Sr Exemption Renewal Application – Pinellas County, FL?
Owners of a property in Pinellas County who hold the low income senior exemption and need to renew it use this form, which the Pinellas County Property Appraiser issues. The Affirmation Statement sets the conditions you sign to: you qualify for the exemption under the Florida Statutes, you are a permanent resident of the State of Florida, and you own and occupy the property described on the form.
Which income option you use depends on your tax filing:
- You file an income tax return: enter your total annual household adjusted gross income for 2025 and attach a copy of your IRS Form 1040.
- You do not file an income tax return: list your household's income received in 2025 by type and provide copies of all of your income documentation.
Owners who no longer qualify use the Exemption Removal section instead of renewing. By checking it they confirm that they no longer qualify and understand that they must re-apply in the future if their income meets the statutory limit.
The form names no representative who may sign for the owner. It has one signature line, with a printed name, email address and telephone number.
When to file Sr Exemption Renewal Application – Pinellas County, FL
The form prints two deadlines: the Application Deadline is March 1st, and the Income Documentation Deadline is June 1st. Both are printed at the top of the form and repeated beside the income lines. The application itself is therefore due by March 1st, and the documents that prove your household income can follow until June 1st.
The form is explicit about the documents: in addition to listing the amount of each type of income, you must also provide copies of the documentation for the income you received, or your exemption cannot be renewed. The income figures requested are for 2025. If you no longer qualify, the form's removal section carries no separate date; it is part of the same form.
Documents you need
- A copy of your IRS Form 1040, if you file an income tax return.
- Copies of ALL of your income documentation, if you do not file an income tax return, so the Property Appraiser can verify your household income.
- IRS Form 1099 statements for any income your household received in 2025 that is reported on one, as an example of acceptable documentation.
- Social Security Statements showing the Social Security income you list on the form.
- Retirement, annuity and interest statements that support the retirement and interest amounts you list.
- Documentation for any other income your household received in 2025 and entered under Other Income.
How to fill out Sr Exemption Renewal Application – Pinellas County, FL
Enter owner and property details
At the top, fill in the Owner Name, Mailing Address and Physical Address of the property for which you hold the exemption.
Choose your income filing option
Check the option that matches you: I file an Income Tax Return or I do not file an income tax return. Complete only the part that applies to your choice.
Enter adjusted gross income
If you file a return, enter your total annual household adjusted gross income for 2025 on the line provided, and attach a copy of your IRS Form 1040.
List income received in 2025
If you do not file a return, enter the amount of each type of income your household received in 2025 beside Social Security, Interest, Retirement and Other Income.
Total your household income
Add the amounts and write the sum on the last line. It is printed as Total 2024 Household Income, but the section above asks for income received in 2025, so contact the Property Appraiser if unsure.
Gather your income documentation
Prepare copies of the documentation for each type of income you list, such as IRS Form 1099, Social Security Statements and retirement, annuity or interest statements. Without them the exemption cannot be renewed.
Use the removal section if needed
If you no longer qualify, check I no longer qualify for the senior exemption. By checking it you acknowledge that you must re-apply in the future if your income meets the statutory limit.
Read the Affirmation Statement
The statement says that you qualify under the Florida Statutes, are a permanent resident of Florida, and own and occupy the property. It also cites the penalty in Section 196.131 (2), Florida Statutes, for knowingly giving false information.

How to submit Sr Exemption Renewal Application – Pinellas County, FL
The form prints no mailing address, portal, fax number or office hours, so it names no submission channel of its own. It is issued by the Pinellas County Property Appraiser, which publishes the PDF at https://www.pcpao.gov/sites/default/files/SeniorExemption_RenewalApplication.pdf.
Return the signed form, together with the IRS Form 1040 copy or the income documentation, through the channels the Property Appraiser offers on its website, pcpao.gov, or by contacting the office. Plan around the two printed dates: the application by March 1st and the income documentation by June 1st. Sign and date the form before you send it, since the Affirmation Statement requires your signature.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Listing income amounts without attaching copies of the documentation; the form says the exemption cannot be renewed without them.
- Missing the March 1st application deadline, or treating the June 1st income documentation deadline as the date for the application.
- Checking that you file an income tax return without attaching a copy of your IRS Form 1040.
- Providing only part of your income documentation when you do not file a return; the form asks for copies of ALL of it.
- Leaving out a type of income, such as Social Security, interest, retirement or other income, so the total on the last line is wrong.
- Reading the printed Total 2024 Household Income line as a request for 2024 figures, when the income section asks for income received in 2025.
- Leaving the signature, printed name or date blank on the Affirmation Statement.
- Giving false information to claim the exemption; the form states that Section 196.131 (2), Florida Statutes, makes this a first-degree misdemeanor.
