The Florida homestead laws are meant to protect Florida residents primary residences from creditors. Specifically, the Florida Constitution states in Article X, Section 4 that a creditor may not force the sale of a Florida residents primary residence to satisfy that creditors judgment.
A waiver of homestead clause is a contractual provision where an individual voluntarily relinquishes their right to claim a homestead exemption, which typically protects a portion of their primary residence from creditors in case of debt collection or bankruptcy.
Until recently, it was set it and forget it for most. However, state legislators passed a law in 2023 that requires the appraisal district in Texas counties to determine if you are still eligible for that exemption at least once every five years.
Standard Homestead Exemption: Provides a $100,000 reduction in the appraised value for school district taxes. For example, a home appraised at $300,000 would have its taxable value reduced to $200,000, saving homeowners hundreds of dollars annually.
The homestead in Texas is a place of residence or business which is secured against the rights of creditors. It originates from the Texas Constitution and statutes. A Texas homestead interest is a property right in the nature of an estate in land rather than merely an exemption from creditors.
