We are moving to Florida (the Palm Beach Area) from New York.

My husband and I were under the impression that we would qualify for Homestead if we had a permanent, year round, residence in Florida.

A friend told us that only original Floridians could qualify for the Homestead exemption.

Also, does this lower our real estate taxes if we qualify? We’re in the dark about it.

Any insight into this Homestead exemption would be appreciated.
