The Florida Save Our Homes provision allows a homeowner to “port” or transfer all or a portion of the tax benefit, up to $500,000. If your new home has a higher Just (Market) Value than your prior residence, the portability amount is determined by subtracting the Assessed Value of the former home from its market value.
Once you have sold or abandoned your homestead property the law allows you to transfer your benefit for up to 3 consecutive property tax years. The new homestead exemption must be established within 3 years (tax rolls) from the last year of the previous homestead exemption.
For further information: Call the Tax Collector's office at 305-270-4916.
You are 65 years of age, or older, on January 1; You qualify for, and receive, the Florida Homestead Exemption; Your total 'Household Adjusted Gross Income' for everyone who lives on the property cannot exceed statutory limits.
