florida homestead exemption

     

Homestea is given meaning in three different contexts under Florida law: 1. exemption from forced sale before and at death per Art. X, Section 4(a)-(b) of the Florida Constitution, 2. restrictions on devise and alienation, Art. X, Section 4(c) of the Florida Constitution and 3. exemption from taxation per Art. VII, Section 6 of the Florida Constitution. Florida's homestead exemption providing an exemption from forced sale before and at death are among the most protective in the United States as it provides "no limit" to the value of certain real property that can be protected from creditors. The property tax exemption clause of Article VI renders property tax-free to the extent of certain dollar amounts in the value of the homestead.
