HOW YOUR HOME’S VALUE AFFECTS YOUR EXEMPTION

HOW YOUR HOME’S VALUE AFFECTS YOUR EXEMPTION

September 21, 2026

Thinking about moving to Florida in 2027? The date you establish residency could matter more than you realize. 👀

Another Homestead Exemption question came in: If the proposed changes pass and you move to Florida after January 1, 2027, do you immediately qualify for the increased exemption?

The answer is no, and depending on when you establish residency, there could be a waiting period before you qualify for the increased exemption.

So if Florida is already in your plans, this is something you’ll want to understand BEFORE January 1.

I’m breaking down the timing, what the proposed change would mean for new Florida residents, and why buyers may want to start looking sooner rather than later.
