FAQ
To qualify for an exemption that begins on July 1, you must be 65 or older by the following December 31. If you co-own your property with a spouse or sibling, only one of you needs to be 65 or older. For other co-ownerships such as a parent and children, all owners must be 65 or older.
The U.S. tax code provides tax advantages for married couples who file jointly and own a home. While duplicating these tax benefits with another residence would help your bottom line when you file taxes, it's not possible to claim two primary residences because of tax regulations from the IRS.
However, to be eligible for the homestead exemption, the owner must be a permanent resident of Florida and have a present intent of living at the property. Additionally, the owner must apply for the exemption. Generally, a married couple is entitled to only one homestead exemption.
Both owners must sign the application form and, if both owners otherwise qualify, the homestead exemption will be granted for the entire home. This process is as simple as any other married couple or single individual applying for the exemption.
