March 2, 2026; Florida's statutory March 1 deadline fell on Sunday, so the next-business-day date applies.
Senior relief
Polk's official exemption materials state that a senior exemption is available only where the county or municipality authorizes it; the owner must qualify for homestead, be at least 65 on January 1, and meet the annual income limit. School taxes and independent taxing districts are excluded.
Valuation limits
Florida Save Our Homes generally limits annual homestead assessed-value growth to the lesser of 3% or the CPI change; the Florida Department of Revenue published a 2.7% 2026 cap. The cap does not apply to every property or taxing component.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
