What is an Exemption Reaffirmation? An Exemption Reaffirmation is the renewal application that allows you to requalify for the exemption without submitting all the documents requested with the original application. It is usually a statement certified under oath that there has been no change in the ownership and use of the property. If there are changes to the property, its ownership or the use of the property, you may be required to submit additional information.
Why do you have to do this? Once you have applied and have been granted certain tax exemptions, you are required to reapply each year. See FL Statute 196.011
What are the consequences for not reapplying? If you do not reaffirm (reapply) by March 1st, the exemption can be denied for that year. You may also have to complete a new application to receive the exemption.
