Florida's $250K Homestead Exemption: Why Buyers Act Now

It's exciting times for Florida real estate homeowners or people considering purchasing. Period. Over the last couple months, the state has put a proposal into effect that would allow owners of properties that have been homesteaded by January 1st, 2027 to receive up to $250,000 exemption. This could be huge. If you think about it, somebody that owns a home and might be valued at $350,000 and its assessed value is $250,000 and then qualifies for a $250,000 homestead exemption could have a zero real estate tax bill. There are some caveats. One is, you have to be homesteaded by January 1st, 2027. Is this going to be the wild west starting in November if this passes? Period. That would mean not only would somebody have to buy a home and close in 45 days, but then need to go get a driver's license and be official before January 1st. Period. My opinion is, buyers should really have their ducks in a row and start looking now, so if this looks like it is going to pass, they will be ready on November 3rd to actually purchase and make an offer on a home. But even then, somebody who's getting a mortgage is going to be cutting it close.
