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.

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.

You may also call our office at (954) 357-5579 for assistance with filing for any exemption or to schedule a virtual meeting with our staff.

To get a homestead deduction on your Florida taxes, you have to fill out an application form, the DR-501, and demonstrate proof of residence by March 1 of the year for which you wish to qualify.

You are entitled to a Homestead Exemption if, as of January 1st, you have made the property your permanent home or the permanent home of a person who is legally or naturally dependent on you. By law, January 1 of each year is the date on which permanent residence is determined.
