homes with no homestead exemption, 35% of the city’s 78,001 single-family homes
Counted October 2026. Postal city, not city limits. Request Data’s City box also matches Pensacola Beach, so its free count runs higher.
The numbers
Counted in October 2026 from Tracer’s Florida property data (the Florida Department of Revenue’s statewide 2025 parcel roll), with Escambia picked as the county. Each count names the Request Data filters behind it. “Absentee” means no homestead exemption, so second homes and recent buyers who haven’t filed are in it too.
single-family homes with a Pensacola address on the 2025 roll, government owners left out.
35% of them have no homestead exemption: usually a rental, a second home or an inherited house.
7% of the city’s homes: the tax bill goes to an address outside Florida (second homes and rentals alike).
8% are owned by an LLC, corporation or trust. Tracer traces them to a person where it can (how).
87% of the 77,993 with a year built on the roll were built in 2011 or earlier.
of Escambia County’s 36,682 absentee-owned single-family homes have a Pensacola address.
Counted by the city on the property's tax-roll address (the postal city), so it includes unincorporated areas with a Pensacola address. It is not the city limits.
Of the 77,993 single-family homes in Pensacola with a year built on the roll, 67,750 (87%) were built in 2011 or earlier. Statewide it is 81% of Florida's 5,990,343 single-family homes with a year built, so Pensacola's share is higher than Florida's; Escambia County's is 85%. The other 8 of Pensacola's 78,001 single-family homes have no year built on the roll, so they are in neither figure. Florida homes by year built, by county.
Against the county
More than half of Escambia County's 106,293 single-family homes have a Pensacola address (73%), and so do 75% of its 36,682 absentee-owned ones: a bigger slice of the county's absentee-owned homes than of its homes.
