Florida Homestead Exemption for Luxury Homeowners

For buyers of Florida luxury real estate, the Homestead Exemption is far more than a line item on a closing statement. It is a constitutional framework that reduces the taxable value of a primary residence, caps how quickly that taxable value can rise, and provides unusually strong creditor protection for the home itself. For Oceanfront penthouses, bayfront estates and high value single-family-homes in markets like Miami-beach and Sunny-isles, mastering the homestead rules can materially improve long term after tax returns and preserve family wealth.
