Correction

Redington Beach has not adopted an expanded $50, 000 homestead exemption for low-income seniors as Florida voters authorized in November. Rather, starting in 2008, qualified low-income Redington Beach seniors can receive a $25, 000 senior exemption. That is in addition to a $25, 000 traditional homestead exemption provided to all homesteaded homeowners. A story Wednesday was incorrect on that point. Applications can be obtained after Jan. 1 through the Pinellas County Property Appraiser, 727 464 3207.
