Renting Homesteaded Units:
Section 196.061 of the Florida Statutes reads: "The rental of an entire dwelling previously claimed to be a homestead for tax purposes shall constitute abandonment of said dwelling as a homestead, and said abandonment shall continue until such dwelling is physically occupied by the owner..."
Most Property Appraisers in Florida interpret this as saying that an owner who rents his homestead loses the exemption for the year of the rental.
Does this mean you can never rent your homestead property? Not necessarily. The statute provides an exception. If you qualify for Florida homestead exemption on January 1 of a certain year and are not renting the property on that day, the rental of your home after January 1 will not affect the homestead tax exemption for that year. However, you cannot use this exception for 2 consecutive years. So owners who are homesteaded can only rent unit every other year.
