Standout State Benefits
What's unique to Florida
State benefits layered on top of federal VA coverage. File federal first, then layer state.
Homestead Property Tax Exemption (100% P&T)
Full ad-valorem property tax exemption on homestead for 100% permanently and totally disabled vets; partial exemptions at lower ratings
Congressman C.W. Bill Young Tuition Waiver
Out-of-state tuition fees waived at Florida public colleges/universities for honorably discharged vets residing in FL
No state income tax
Florida has no state income tax, making military retirement and VA benefits effectively untaxed
