Hello, just wanted to let my fellow Wikipedia project members know that I added the section "Controversy - Proposed Constitutional Amendment Would Phase Out Save Our Homes Florida" to this page on July 5, 2007. Citations and other links have been verified. Please feel free, if you are a registered Wiki editor and working on this page, to contact me. Missyagogo 22:50, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PROPERTY APPRAISER CALL CENTER
They will explicitly tell you in no uncertain terms that you MUST be listed on the title to qualify!
In order convince yourself that it is indeed possible to qualify without actually being listed on the title, I would suggest adding reference to the specific Florida Statute following the wordage "(or the beneficiary of a trust, or a person legally or naturally dependent upon the owner) see Florida Statute Title XIV Chapter 196.041 Extent of homestead exemptions.
here is a copy from the main page...
Obtaining a Homestead Exemption for Property Taxes The elected Property Appraisers of Florida's 67 counties are the state constitutional officers responsible for maintaining the integrity of the homestead tax exemption program. Nobody in Florida "automatically" obtains a homestead exemption. Instead, a homeowner on title (or the beneficiary of a trust, or a person legally or naturally dependent upon the owner) must file for a homestead exemption with the Property Appraiser in the county in which the property is located. While most counties still use paper applications, a few larger counties have offered online homestead filing starting around 2002.
Most of all thanks for the excellent information provided on the Homestead exemption in Florida Wikipedia page!

[edit] Controversy--Proposed Amendment
I deleted this section, as Amendment One would not phase out "Save Our Homes". Also ciitations/links no longer worked.ObviousShirley (talk) 13:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)ObviousShirley
