What happened?

Lee County Property Appraiser Matt Caldwell said a homeowner who married someone living in Canada may still be able to keep her Florida homestead exemption. The case could affect several hundred local homeowners in similar situations. Caldwell said applicants would need to document that a spouse is not receiving a similar tax break elsewhere and may need annual review.
