Live Local Act Consulting in Homestead and South Miami-Dade
We help owners of qualifying rental properties claim the Live Local Act property tax exemption and keep it year after year. You meet with us at our office or by phone and video, so the property's address never limits whether we can take the file.
Where our clients' properties are
Most of the properties we work on sit in Homestead and the communities around it: Florida City, Leisure City, Naranja and Princeton to the south and west, and Goulds, Richmond West and South Miami Heights as you head north. Because the exemption is filed with the county, the steps are the same in each of these places, and so is the care we put into the paperwork.
We also work with owners in Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay and Country Walk. Distance does not change the process. We review your rent roll and unit mix, run the numbers on what the exemption could save over the years you plan to hold the property, and tell you plainly whether filing is worth the ongoing effort.

What applies across South Miami-Dade
- One county, one appraiser
- Every town on this page falls under the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. That means one set of forms, one review office and one approach to the DR-504AFH application. Learning how that office reads a file pays off for every client we serve here.
- The filing calendar
- The exemption runs on an annual cycle. FHFC certification has to be in place before the county application goes in, and the county filing has a firm spring deadline. Missing it can cost a full year of savings, so we plan the work backward from that date.
- Income and rent limits
- Qualifying units are tied to area median income figures for the Miami-Dade area, which are updated periodically. When the limits shift, the rents and resident incomes you report have to match the current numbers. Our resident income verification work keeps those records in step.
- Value over the life of the property
- A first-year exemption is only part of the picture. The real return comes from keeping the property in compliance each year, so we weigh the savings against the cost of annual recertification and ongoing compliance support before you commit.
- Meetings that suit you
- We work from our office or by phone and video. Documents move securely, and you can see every page of the application before it is filed.
