BCPA Goes Virtual
Business models around the world have adapted to providing services during these changing times. Our office continues to evolve to ensure we meet the needs of the residents of Broward County and provide the same level of customer service you have grown to expect. Property owners can still easily apply for Homestead Exemption online at www.bcpa.net, as well as, access information about all the tax-saving exemptions available for qualified individuals. Please contact csemgmt@bcpa.net or call 954.357.6830 with any exemption questions you may have if you cannot find the answers you are looking for on our website.
Understandably, many residents have concerns about sharing personal information online or over the phone. To help ease these concerns, our Mobile Exemption & Information Team (MEIT) is now able to meet with residents virtually and answer any questions or help with exemption filing. While we do not know when our office will be able to safely resume in-person meetings, this new platform allows face-to-face virtual conversations between property owners and our staff. To schedule an appointment for a virtual meeting, please email us at ExemptionsExpress@bcpa.net or call us at 954.357.5579.
Quarterly Tax Payment Installment Plan
While the Property Appraiser’s Office does not set or collect taxes, our office receives many calls from residents inquiring about installment tax bills and their recent exemptions. Broward County’s Records, Taxes & Treasury Division is responsible for the billing and collecting of property taxes.
For property owners on their quarterly installment plan, the first two installment payments (June and September) are based on the previous (2019) tax year. This means residents who have been approved for 2020 Homestead Exemption or other exemptions will not see these showing on either the June or September installment bills. The final two installment bills will be based on the current tax year. The December and March installment bill amounts will be adjusted to include any 2020 exemptions or changes to the property’s taxable value. The deadline for Broward County’s Installment Payment Plan was May 1, 2020. Should you have any questions regarding the payment of property taxes, their office can be reached at 954.831.4000 or by email to revenue@broward.org.
If my office can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 954.357.6904 or by email at martykiar@bcpa.net.
