Homestead assessment difference transfer (“portability”) allows eligible Florida homestead owners to transfer their Save Our Homes (SOH) assessment limitation from their old homestead to a new homestead, lowering the assessed value for the new homestead.
An additional income-based Senior Exemption is available in most municipalities and unincorporated Pinellas County. To qualify, at least one property owner must be 65 years of age or older, already receive homestead exemption, live in a tax district offering the exemption, and meet the total household income limit.
