Florida residents follow federal tax deadlines for individual income taxes since the state has no income tax, but property taxes have distinct local schedules. Key deadlines vary by tax type, with federal filing typically due April 15 and property taxes by March 31.

Federal Income Taxes

Florida doesn't impose a state income tax, so residents file only federal returns. For the 2025 tax year (filed in 2026), payments and returns are due April 15, 2026 , unless extended to October 15 (payment still due April).

Extensions are common—file Form 4868 by April 15—but any owed taxes accrue interest after that date. Estimated quarterly payments (Form 1040-ES) hit January 15, April 15, June 15, and September 15 annually.

Property Taxes

Florida's biggest "tax due" for homeowners is annual property tax, billed by county collectors. Bills mail early November for taxes assessed January 1; full payment is due March 31 without penalty.

Pay early for discounts: 4% off by November 30, 3% by December 31, down to 1% by February 28—saving hundreds on typical bills.
