Divorce can be a challenging process, not only emotionally but also financially. One of the critical financial aspects to consider during a divorce in Florida is the property tax implications, particularly the portability benefit. At My Exemption Check, we are property tax experts dedicated to helping you navigate these complexities and protect your financial interests

The portability benefit allows Florida homeowners to transfer their Save Our Homes (SOH) benefit from one homestead property to another. This can result in significant property tax savings, making it a crucial factor to consider during a divorce.

When going through a divorce, the handling of the marital home and the homestead exemption can impact your property tax benefits. Here are a few scenarios to consider:

• Selling the Marital Home: If the marital home is sold before the divorce is finalized, the portability benefit is typically split between both parties.
• One Spouse Keeps the Home: If one spouse retains the home, the way the homestead exemption is handled can significantly impact their property taxes.
• Homestead Exemption Removal: Removing the homestead exemption prior to the divorce can lead to reassessment of the property's value and affect the portability benefit.

Properly managing the portability benefit can save you thousands of dollars in property taxes annually. Mismanaging it, however, can lead to higher taxes and lost benefits. Understanding these nuances is essential to making informed decisions during a divorce.
