Property Appraiser Mike Wells was honored to share a message of remembrance, reflection and gratitude this morning at Heritage Lake and Country Place Village for Memorial Day. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction," President Ronald Reagan.

On this Memorial Day, we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. "Let us never forget that freedom isn't free." 🇺🇸

We were honored to participate in Leadership Pasco’s annual Government Day again this year featuring federal, state and local officials. Chief Deputy Brendan Fitterer, who is also a member of Leadership Pasco's Class of 2026, joined the Constitutional Officers Panel to share about how our office assesses and qualifies exemptions for Pasco County's 335,000 parcels.

All Pasco County Property Appraiser offices will be closed Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day. Visit us online, anytime at: www.pascopa.com

Homestead Exemption can save you💰 – Don’t lose it!
1️⃣ Do not RENT your home for more than 30 days in two consecutive years.
2️⃣ BUY or SELL your home? You’ll need to reapply!
3️⃣ Claim homestead ELSEWHERE? Your homestead must be your permanent residence. You cannot have a residency-based exemption in another state also!
4️⃣Don't change your residency qualifiers! An out-of-state Driver's License or Voter ID can disqualify you!
