Florida Save Our Homes (SOH) Assessment Cap is available to homeowners in Jacksonville, FL.
The Save Our Homes amendment (SOH) caps annual increases to the assessed value of homestead properties at the lesser of 3% or the Consumer Price Index change. Over time, this can significantly reduce property taxes compared to market value assessments. SOH protections are portable, homeowners can transfer their accumulated benefit to a new Florida homestead within limits (Portability). No separate application is needed; the cap applies automatically upon homestead approval.
Not a home improvement grant, a long-term property tax savings mechanism; portability must be claimed within 3 years of leaving previous homestead
