Two exemptions cut the city share, not one. Delray Beach layers a municipal $25,000 Limited Income Senior Exemption over the standard homestead applied against the city's own operating levy. Under Fla. Stat. 196.075, Delray also grants a long-term residency exemption: an owner 65 or older who has lived in the same homestead for at least 25 years (just value under $250,000) can eliminate the city portion of the tax bill outright — a benefit Boca Raton does not offer. Note: Many west Delray addresses sit in unincorporated Palm Beach County, where city levies do not apply.

Deciding between Beachside/East Delray and West Delray comes down to walkability versus coastal insurance costs: Beachside & Lake Ida (East of I-95): Offers walkable access to Atlantic Avenue dining, galleries, and public beaches.
