A homestead does not protect you against: Foreclosure of your home by mortgage lender if you are behind on payments; The enforcement of a mechanic's lien; A judgment for child or spousal support.
Technically it's not possible to do that, because you must claim the homestead exemption in the state that is your permananent residence, and you can only have one state as permanent residence since you must spend more than 180 days in that place.
A homestead property may be any one of the following: Property in one compact body upon which exists a dwelling house. One condominium or cooperative.
Keep in mind, your homestead exemption doesn't transfer— you must apply for homestead when you move to a new property. You apply for portability, or “port,” at the same time with a form called DR-501T.
Claiming a Homestead Exemption The Arizona homestead exemption is automatic, meaning that no written claim is required. If a person desires to waive the exemption, the person must record the waiver in the office of the county recorder.
You must request a transfer certificate from the appraisal district for the former home to provide to the appraisal district for your new home. An over-65 or disabled person exemption can be transferred by the property owner at any time during the year to a new property in Texas.
