When someone owns property and makes it his or her permanent residence or the permanent residence of his or her dependent, the property owner may be eligible to receive a homestead exemption that would decrease the property's taxable value by as much as $50,000.

In addition to the proof of Florida residency, you must be residing on the property as your primary residence as of January 1st. Social Security numbers are required for all owners and their spouses making application, even if the spouse does not own and/or reside on the property, per Florida Statute.

The Florida homestead is the most protected asset in the entire country. The purpose of Florida homestead laws is to shield the primary residence of Florida residents so that they do not lose their homes due to unpaid debts. Florida law protects unlimited amounts of value in the homestead property.

How much will I save with a Homestead Exemption? Depending on the value and location of the property, and the millage rates set by the relevant taxing authorities, the homestead exemption can save you about $800.00 in taxes.
