HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS You must be a US Citizen or permanent US Resident and a Florida resident as of January 1st 3. You cannot be claiming or receiving any type of tax exemption on any other property in the U.S. 4.
The spouse who holds the title of the property is responsible for applying for homestead exemption. Whether the house is owned through joint ownership with rights of survivorship, tenancy by the entirety, or another ownership type, Florida law preserves the rights of the owner's spouse.
