WPB Homestead Exemption, Exemptions and Taxable Value Help
If your WPB property is your permanent residence, you may be eligible for homestead exemption. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office administers exemptions, not the payment portal.
Approved exemptions appear on the tax bill. If the bill does not show the exemption you expected, contact the Property Appraiser. The Tax Collector can collect the bill, but it generally cannot change your assessed value or apply an exemption at checkout.

May reduce taxable value for qualified permanent residents. File and verify through the Property Appraiser.
Address changes
If your mailing address is wrong on the tax bill, the Tax Collector points users to the Property Appraiser for address correction.
Do not ignore tax due date
Even if an exemption issue is pending, verify whether you must pay by the deadline to avoid delinquency.
