Save Our Homes Portability Portability The ability to transfer the benefit of the homestead
property assessment limitation (defined in FS 193.155) described as the dollar value difference between market value and assessed value, or a percentage thereof, from an existing homestead to a newly homesteaded property
![Page 27: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So, what exactly is someone “porting” to a new house? They’re porting:
The “Save Our Homes Benefit” Also called: “Assessment Limitation” or “Capped
Difference” ______________________________

Who might be impacted Positively by Portability of SOH? Purchaser moving to higher priced property
Purchaser downsizing
Existing owners relocating within the state

State Economy - Portability could allow many persons the ability to move within the state thus increasing sales and benefiting businesses such as to foster growth in the state economy.
![Page 30: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Others impacted by Portability of SOH?
Property Appraiser – Administratively
Taxing Authorities – Decreased tax revenues ??? Revenue Neutral?
Out of state buyers – Receive no benefit
First time buyers – Receive no benefit
![Page 31: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Important Numbers to Remember
The following chart illustrates that
82.23% of all homesteaded properties in Orange County
have a Just Market Value between
$1,000 & $299,999.
Orange County’s 2006 Median Just Market Value
$192,146
![Page 32: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
$1,000-$299,999 169,390 82.23% $175,068 $58,889 33.64%
$300,000-$699,999 32,818 15.93% $404,636 $120,323 29.74% $700,000-$999,999 2,235 1.08% $816,531 $213,981 26.21%
$1,000,000 + 1,558 0.76% $1,584,116 $397,951 25% Totals 206,001 100%
Homesteaded Residential Property Just Market Value & Capped Difference Analysis For All Homestead Properties Just Mkt. Range Count % of Total Avg. Mkt. Avg. Cap Diff. Avg. Savings
* Figures based on 2006 Preliminary Tax Roll data
![Page 33: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The “% of Savings” is determined by
Avg. Capped Diff / Avg. Market Value
Thus, homeowners whose “Just Market Value” is from $1,000 to $299,999 not only represent 82.23% of all
homestead properties but derive the greatest savings from SOH at 33.64%
…dispelling the myth that only the most wealthy benefit from Save Our Homes
Analysis Conclusion

A Recommended Homestead Portability
Formula
“The County Median Just Market Value Formula”
![Page 35: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
County Median Just Market Value Formula
When establishing a new homesteadin the State of Florida,
Owner can transfer:“Their Save Our Homes Benefit”
Up to The amount of the Prior Year
“Median Just Market Value” for the county of relocation
The Assessed Value of the newly established homestead MUST equal or exceed the Assessed Value of the newly established homestead’s prior year assessment.
![Page 36: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Important Number to Remember
Orange County’s 2006 Median Just Market Value
$192,146
![Page 37: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
County Median Just Market Value Formula EXAMPLE Purchase Price $ 600,000 Just Market Value of New Homestead
(-15% for cost of sale) $ 510,000
Less: “Save Our Homes Benefit” (up to prior year Median Just Market value of
$192,146) $ 122,105 Assessed Value $ 387,895 Less: Homestead Exemption $ -25,000 Taxable Value $ 362,895
Est. Tax Dollar Amount $ 7,258 (as opposed to $ 9,700)
Tax Savings for Owner $ 2,442
This formula provides a benefit to the property owner with less impact to taxing authorities than all other proposed formulas.

Benefits of County Median Just Market Value Formula Simple Formula – easy to understand.
Provides a fair “Portability” benefit. Tied to the market of each county.
Allows 98% of homeowners in Orange County to transfer ALL of their current Save Our Homes Benefit.
Doesn’t allow for “super wealthy” with an extremely large Portable Value in one county to import that value into another, perhaps smaller, county.
Revenue neutral

The following examples present issues and scenarios which could impact the
implementation of portability
Issues Which Could Impact Portability Implementation
![Page 41: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Will portability apply only to the purchase of another
home? (most language related to portability thus far has referred to purchasepurchase or or newnew)
What if someone already owns a second home and they want to make it their new homestead?
Will portability be a “use it or lose it” within a specified time period or will the timeframe be indefinite?
If someone is building a new home and construction delays occur taking them beyond a time limitation, will they lose the benefit of portability?
Issues Which Could Impact Portability Implementation
![Page 42: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
If a husband and wife were granted homestead exemption on their home, they get divorced and both want to use portability for their subsequent homes, how would this be handled?
Is it a 50/50 split? Would it be negotiated and agreed amounts stipulated in the
divorce papers? What if one stays in the existing home and the other buys a new
one, how is the capped difference allocated? How could any of these scenarios be monitored or administered?
Issues Which Could Impact Portability Implementation
![Page 43: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
What if two single people own separate homes…
they sell their respective homes and buy a home together, whether they get married or not? Do they each bring a portable amount to the new home? Should there be limitations on the amount? Do they get the greater of the two amounts or lesser of the two
amounts?
If there are multiple owners on a homestead property, they sell and move to their respective new homes – who gets the portable amount? Many counties have no idea who filed for the exemption originally – the
original application may no longer exist
Issues Which Could Impact Portability Implementation
![Page 44: Presentation by The Honorable Bill Donegan, CFA Orange County Property Appraiser January 30, 2007 Notes on: Property Tax Reform](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e605503460f94b5b285/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What if a property owner uses portability and it is later determined they were not eligible for the homestead exemption received in the prior county and a lien is filed.
How will the property owner or property appraiser (in the new county) be notified and the portability revoked?
Issues Which Could Impact Portability Implementation

If portability were already in effect, what would be the impact on Orange County over the past 3
years?

HJR 23 Summary
SPONSOR: Carl J. Domino, Republican, District 83, Palm Beach
Provides for Portability of the Full Save Our Homes Benefit with the purchase of a home in 12 months.
Points to Note: Applies only to new purchase
12 month limitation
Difference in new homestead’s just value and assessed value can not exceed the difference of prior homesteads just and assessed values.
New assessed value MUST equal or exceed that of prior homestead. Does not allow for a scenario where owner could apply portability
and end up paying less in taxes than on previous homestead.

for 05-06.

SB 532 Summary
SPONSOR: Senator Michael S. Bennett, Republican, District 21, Parts of Charlotte, DeSoto, Lee, Manatee, Sarasota
Provides that the governing body of a county or municipality may levy a surtax on documents taxed under s.201.02 at a rate not exceeding 25 cents on each $100 of the consideration for the execution, assignment, transfer, or conveyance of real property or interest therein. (Does not apply to a deed pursuant to an action for dissolution of marriage)
Points of Note: Restricts how proceeds are to be pledged.
Restricts impact fees if such surtax is imposed.
Requires Grantor (Seller) of the property to pay the surtax. Thus, makes the cost associated with selling a property more expensive for the seller – will decrease incentive to sell.
