 Homestead exemption in Florida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The homestead exemption applies automatically upon the establishment of a primary residence in Florida, but to reap the tax assessment benefits it must be claimed by a filing with the state.
Florida's homestead exemption is one of the broadest in the United States.
Florida homestead exemption also reduces the value of a home for assessment of property taxes by $25,000, so a home that was actually worth $100,000 would be taxed as though it was worth only $75,000.

 FLORIDA HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC - Human Resources - FLORIDA HOMESTEAD ACT EXEMPTION DECLARATION DESIGNATION
In fact, filing a homestead declaration does not protect against creditors whose claims are secured by a mortgage on the property, or against businesses that have a ‘contractor’s’ lien on the property as a result of providing services or improvements, or for non-payment of property taxes and assessments.
This regulation may require that a homestead filing service agent or licensee, in the event that the home office cannot accomplish the task, to handle the entire task of completing and filing the homestead declaration and other paperwork, including payment of all notary and county recording fees as required.
The exemption of a homestead from ad valorem taxation is quite a different thing from the exemption of a homestead from seizure and sale for debts, and therefore homestead issues and court decisions for tax purposes are not necessarily relevant to issues and decisions for forced sale purposes, the statutory provisions being entirely different.
