Florida Pursuant to the 1992 “Save Our Homes” (SOH) Amendment to the Florida Constitution, the assessed value of your Homestead property can increase by no more than 3% above last year’s assessed value (or the consumer price index, whichever is less). The Florida Department of Revenue certifies the annual percentage amount for each year.

If you are applying for a new Homestead Exemption AND you held a Homestead exemption on a previous property within the last 2 tax-years anywhere in Florida, you should also submit a Portability application with your Homestead application.
