TIMELY FILING FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION SAVES $100,000 ANNUALLY

Okay, okay it's true: Florida's homestead exemption is NOT worth $100,000 per year to every taxpayer, but it is worth that much--and more--to some. Here's a stunning example.Coach Pat Riley of the Miami Heat bought his Coral Gables home in April 1996 for $6.3 million. If eligible for homestead exemption as of January 1,1997, his property taxes for 2005 would've been over $8,000 PER MONTH less than the $238,423.56 he paid.
