告诉你一个可能很多人都不了解的佛州法律，可以帮助你省一些地税

最近换了自住房的可能有用.

就是你以前那个房子的市场价just (market) value 和为了地产税目的 assessed value( 一般比 market value 低至少 30%，而且自住房每年的房地产税增加不能超过 3%）之间的差价你可以转移到你现在的新的自住房上面，这样可以少付不少地税。

 

可能很多做房地产的人都不是很了解这个法案:

SAVE OUR HOMES PORTABILITY TRANSFER

In 2008, the citizens of Florida voted to pass Amendment 1, which included a provision to transfer any Save Our Homes benefit from one homesteaded property to a new homesteaded property in Florida. The Florida Save Our Homes provision allows a homeowner to “port” or transfer all or a portion of the tax benefit, up to $500,000.

If your new home has a higher Just (Market) Value than your prior residence, the portability amount is determined by subtracting the Assessed Value of the former home from its market value. For example, if the market value of your previous home is $300,000, but the assessed value is $200,000, your Save our Homes benefit for portability purposes is $100,000. This benefit of $100,000 will be applied to your new home and reduce the Assessed Value by $100,000.

 

 

 

BTW, 我们佛州的地产税的情况是这样的：

property tax大概是政府估值的1.5%到2%，政府估值会在你买的那年重新评估，一般是市场值的百分之70%。如果是自住房，每年估值最多上涨3%，如果是投资房每年可以上涨10%。
