Moved within Florida? Take your tax savings with you.

If you had a Florida homestead, you can transfer your built-up Save Our Homes savings — up to $500,000 — to your new home. Most people never file for it. See what you can port, free.

How Save Our Homes portability works

  1. While you own a Florida homestead, the Save Our Homes cap holds your taxable value below market — the gap is your "assessment difference."
  2. When you move to a new Florida home, you can transfer that difference (up to $500,000) to the new home, lowering its taxable value.
  3. You must file Form DR-501T with your new county's property appraiser, along with your new homestead application — within 3 years of leaving the old home.
  4. It's commonly missed because it's a separate filing at a different county. We can prepare the whole packet for you.

Estimate from each county's most recent published Florida Department of Revenue assessment roll — not tax advice. Your county appraiser determines the final transfer.
