Myths & Assumptions of Homestead 1.Your home is 100% financially and completely exposed to liens, judgments, and other attachments and is not protected under Florida Homestead Laws and the Florida Constitution as you have assumed. 2.But I receive my Homestead Exemption every year? – Yes, this is true BUT the property tax exemption does not protect your Homestead property! Homestead property tax exemption only reduces your annual Ad Valorem (Real Estate) property taxes but does not protect your home or its equity. Also, the tax exemption is not automatic. 3.Do you realize that any person, lawyer, company, government agency, code enforcement board, or any other entity can place a lien against your Home at any time, for any reason? 4.Florida laws states that you do not even have to be legally notified if a lien or judgment is placed against your home! Homes are sold on the courthouse steps daily! 5.Judgments and liens can stay enforced against your homesteaded property for up to 20 years! 6.My Attorney represents my best interests – Right? Wrong! Corpus Juris Secundum: Volume 7 – An Attorneys first duty is to: 1) The Courts 2) The People (Public Prosecutor) 3) NOT to the client!

HOMESTEAD PROTECTION IS NOT AUTOMATIC! Florida has two distinct and separate laws regarding a homestead. The exemption of a homestead from forced sale and from having a judgment or execution being a lien thereon differs from homestead exemption as defined for property tax purposes. This exemption is governed by Article X, Section 4, Constitution of the State of Florida (1968), which exempts a homestead from forced sale and provides that no judgment or execution shall be a lien thereon. Clearly, this is a different thing than homestead exemption, as defined for property tax purposes. The Florida property tax statutes offers homeowners a way to apply for homestead 'tax' exemptions to reduce local real estate (ad valorem) property taxes. Application is made to the county property appraiser, and there is no fee for filing. This is the homestead "tax" exemption explained in their information. Homestead ad valorem (which means 'according to value') property tax exemption is sometimes confused with the homestead 'asset' protection. The Florida exemption statutes allows homeowners to 'designate' and 'set apart' their homesteads to protect it from a forced sale to satisfy creditors, and to protect its equity. The tax appraisal county office is unable to answer your questions concerning 'designation of homestead' for protection from forced sale. 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. Under the ad valorem tax exemption provision, the homestead is not required to be owned by the head of a family; he may own only an interest or an equity in the property. Moreover, several owners, if they reside on the property, may have the total amount allowable divided between them. On the other hand, under the exemption law from seizure and sale, the homestead may have any value, and in addition to the exemption of the dwelling and the land of the homestead from execution there is also an exemption of personal property as well as the improvements on the real estate. Homestead for tax purposes and homestead for purposes of exemption from forced sale, although related because both are part of the overall scheme of providing for preservation of the family dwelling, are not synonymous regardless of popular opinion.
