FL H0877

Amends the Florida Constitution to allow the homestead property tax discount for veterans age 65+ with permanent combat-related disabilities to carry over to their surviving spouse upon the veteran's death

Surviving spouse must hold legal or beneficial title to the homestead property and permanently reside there to receive the continued discount

Discount terminates if the surviving spouse remarries or sells/disposes of the homestead property

Surviving spouse who sells the original property may transfer a discount (capped at the most recent dollar amount granted) to a new homestead property, provided they use it as permanent residence and have not remarried

Amendment submitted to Florida voters for approval and takes effect January 1, 2021
