        "text": "The Florida homestead exemption typically applies to a homeowner's primary residence, offering a reduction in the property's assessed value for tax purposes. Since a vacation home is generally not your primary residence, you usually won't qualify for this exemption. This means your property taxes will be calculated on the full assessed value. It's important to factor these higher property tax costs into your budget when considering a vacation home purchase. Our agents can help you understand the tax implications for non-homestead properties in areas like Miami-Dade or Palm Beach County.",
