Florida Homestead Property Tax

Summary

In Florida, a homestead property inherited by a direct descendant can retain its status, capping tax increases. Only one homestead exemption is allowed per individual. If a property is no longer a primary residence, the exemption and cap are removed, increasing taxes. For a $250,000 home with a 17.3 millage rate, annual taxes are approximately $4,325.
