Florida property tax exclusion for solar and other renewable energy devices open

Administered by your county property appraiser, under section 193.624 of the Florida Statutes.

The value that solar panels, inverters and other renewable energy source devices add to a Florida home may not be counted when the home is assessed for property tax. It covers devices installed on homes from 1 January 2013.

What it pays

The value solar adds, not assessed

There is no dollar figure: what it saves depends on how the property appraiser would have valued the system and on your local millage. The house and land are assessed as before.

Devices the statute names

  • Solar energy collectors, photovoltaic modules and inverters
  • Storage tanks and other storage systems
  • Thermostats and other control devices
  • Heat exchange devices, pumps and fans
  • Pipes, ducts, wiring, structural supports and other integral parts, but not conventional backup systems

Who is eligible

It does not pay you anything

It keeps the panels from raising your assessment. Solar equipment is also free of sales tax. Neither is a rebate; the utilities' rebates, where there are any, are on the Florida page.
