Pasco County Senior Citizen Property Tax Exemptions: Eligibility & Income Limits
Your 2026 property tax bill just arrived in Pasco County and you’re 65 or older? You could be missing out on thousands in extra savings with the county’s senior exemptions.
Pasco County offers some of the best senior tax breaks in Florida — including a powerful additional $50,000 exemption for qualifying low-income seniors.
Here’s exactly who qualifies, the current income limits, and how to claim every dollar you deserve.
Regular Homestead Exemption – The Foundation for All Senior Savings
Every senior homeowner should start here.
What you get in 2026:
- $25,000 off taxable value on all taxes (including school board)
- Extra $25,000 off (for homes over $50,000) on county and non-school taxes
- Save Our Homes cap (3% max annual increase)
Deadline: March 1, 2026 (file online at pascopa.com)
Income-Qualified Senior Exemption – Extra $50,000 Off (Pasco’s Biggest Senior Break)
This is the one most seniors don’t know about.
2026 Income Limit: $38,686 household income (This is the official Florida Department of Revenue adjusted limit for 2026.)
Who qualifies:
- At least one owner is age 65 or older on January 1, 2026
- You already have (or qualify for) the regular Homestead Exemption
- Your total household adjusted gross income is $38,686 or less
What you save: Additional $50,000 reduction on your taxable value (applies to county operating taxes).
This stacks on top of the regular homestead — many qualifying seniors see their taxable value drop by $100,000+ total.

If you’ve lived in your Pasco home for 25+ years:
- You may qualify for a full exemption from county and city taxes (school taxes still apply)
