- Florida has two distinct and separate laws regarding a homestead. The
exemption of a homestead from forced sale and from having a judgment=
or
execution being a lien thereon differs from homestead exemption as
defined for tax purposes. This exemption is governed by Article X,
Section 4, Constitution of the State of Florida (1968), which exempt=
s a
homestead from forced sale and provides that no judgment or execution
shall be a lien thereon. Clearly, this is a different thing than
homestead exemption, as defined for property tax purposes.
- The Florida property tax statutes offers homeowners a way to apply f=
or
homestead 'tax' exemptions to reduce local real estate (ad valorem)
property taxes. Application is made to the county property appraiser,
and there is no fee for filing. This is the homestead "tax"
exemption explained in their information. Homestead ad valorem (which
means 'according to value') property tax exemption is sometimes conf=
used
with the homestead 'asset' protection. The Florida exemption statutes
allows homeowners to 'designate' and 'set apart' their homesteads to
protect it from a forced sale to satisfy creditors, and to protect i=
ts
equity. The tax appraisal county office is unable to answer your
questions concerning 'designation of homestead' for protection from
forced sale.
- The exemption of a homestead from ad valorem taxation is quite a
different thing from the exemption of a homestead from seizure and s=
ale
for debts, and therefore homestead issues and court decisions for tax
purposes are not necessarily relevant to issues and decisions for fo=
rced
sale purposes, the statutory provisions being entirely different. Un=
der
the ad valorem tax exemption provision, the homestead is not require=
d to
be owned by the head of a family; he may own only an interest or an
equity in the property. Moreover, several owners, if they reside on =
the
property, may have the total amount allowable divided between them. =
On
the other hand, under the exemption law from seizure and sale, the
homestead may have any value, and in addition to the exemption of the
dwelling and the land of the homestead from execution there is also =
an
exemption of personal property as well as the improvements on the re=
al
estate. Homestead for tax purposes and homestead for purposes of
exemption from forced sale, although related because both are part of
the overall scheme of providing for preservation of the family dwell=
ing,
are not synonymous regardless of popular opinion.
