With the homestead exemption E file module, you
can E file the same day you close on a new home, even
without the deed. Simultaneously, you can E file for
portability if moving within the state of Florida and filing
for a homestead exemption.
A homestead exemption can reduce the assessed value
of your property, thereby reducing the amount of property
tax you pay. In addition, a homestead exemption limits any
increase to your assessed value to a maximum of 3 percent
each year or the amount of the change in the consumer
price index, whichever is lower. Portability transfers all or
