Explanation
Florida's homestead portability (F.S. 193.155(8)) allows homeowners to transfer up to $500,000 of accumulated Save Our Homes (SOH) benefit — the difference between market value and assessed value — to a new Florida homestead. This helps long-term homeowners who move within Florida, allowing them to 'take' their tax savings to a new home and avoid losing the SOH benefit they've built up.
