Bill > H6027

This bill amends Florida Statute 193.155, which governs homestead property assessments, to align with the State Constitution by removing the word "immediate" when referring to a prior homestead. This change clarifies that when a homeowner establishes a new homestead after having received a homestead exemption in the previous three years, the assessment of the new homestead will be based on the just value of the *prior* homestead, not necessarily the *immediately preceding* one, ensuring a consistent application of the homestead assessment limitation. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026.
