Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office

November 2025 Newsletter

Dear Taxpayer,

As we do each year at this time, my office has certified the Real Property and Tangible Personal Property Assessment Roll for Palm Beach County to the Tax Collector. The Tax Collector’s Office is responsible for printing and mailing your property tax bills on or before November 1, so they should be arriving in mailboxes soon.

In recognition of Veterans Day on November 11, this newsletter highlights important property tax exemptions and discounts that may be available to veterans, active-duty military members, and their surviving spouses. We are deeply grateful to the men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our country.

As the season of gratitude approaches, I want to thank you for allowing us the privilege of serving you. From honoring our veterans to assisting property owners across Palm Beach County, we remain dedicated to our mission of service year-round.

Stay Connected!

For questions, visit www.pbcpao.gov, or call us at 561.355.3230.

Respectfully,

Dorothy Jacks, CFA, AAS

Palm Beach County Property Appraiser

VETERANS & MILITARY EXEMPTIONS

Disabled veterans, age 65 or older, who are partially or totally and permanently disabled, have a disability that was combat-related and have been honorably discharged upon separation from military service may be eligible for a discount to ad valorem taxes to the percent of their disability.

Please note: To qualify for these exemptions, you must be honorably discharged and have a Homestead Exemption on your property.

65+ Combat-Related Disability Discount
Eligible veterans may receive a tax discount equal to their disability percentage.
Total & Permanent Disability
Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability may qualify for a full exemption from property taxes.
Service-Connected Disability (10% or More)
A $5,000 exemption is available for veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or higher.
Non-Service-Connected Disability
Certain veterans with non-service-related disabilities may qualify for a $5,000 exemption.
Prorated Disability for New Property
Veterans (or their surviving spouses) with a total and permanent service-connected disability who purchase a new homestead mid-year may be eligible for a prorated refund of taxes.
Active-Duty Military Exemption
Service members deployed overseas during the prior year may qualify for an exemption based on the length of deployment.
Surviving Spouses
Certain surviving spouses of veterans—including those who died in the line of duty or from service-connected causes—may qualify for full or partial exemptions.
