Who gets the larger homestead exemption if Amendment 3 passes?
Homestead owners who are Florida residents by Dec. 31, 2026 can receive the increased non-school exemption if they qualify: $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, then inflation. Later arrivals get today's homestead when they qualify, and the larger exemption starts in year five. Second homes, rentals, and commercial property do not get it. Check your homestead with the county property appraiser.
