Going to the Hearing .......................................................................................... 30. D. If You Disagree with the Courtâs Order ..............................................................
Properties cannot receive both the LOHE and the General Homestead Exemption or Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption. Properties that qualify for the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption will receive the same amount calculated for the General Homestead Exemption. For information and to apply for this homestead exemption, contact the Cook County Assessor's Office.
In fact, Fla.Stat. 196.031 prohibits anyone who receives the benefit of a residency-based property tax exemption or tax credit in another state from also receiving a Florida homestead exemption. Thus, not only can you not claim two Florida homestead exemptions, but you also cannot claim an additional residency-based exemption in another state.
