Portability of Homestead Savings is available to Floridians

In January 2008, Florida voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment, Amendment 1, which grants added tax relief to homesteaded property owners. The amendment gives homesteaded owners the ability to transfer some or all of their Save Our Homes benefits to a new homesteaded property. Each homestead has a unique portability scenario. Contact our office or visit the Florida Department of Revenue website for more information.
