Justice Proposes Additional Tax Relief for Seniors
At a recent Pinellas County Commission strategic planning session, County Commissioner Charlie Justice introduced an idea for a new proposal aimed at providing additional tax relief for low-income seniors. The proposal would focus on expanding the homestead tax exemption for some of the county’s most vulnerable citizens.
Justice seeks to double the existing homestead tax exemption from $25,000 to $50,000 in the unincorporated areas of Pinellas County, which is the maximum allowable by state law.
