Thinking About Putting Your Florida Homestead in an LLC? Think Again.

An LLC can offer certain liability protections, but transferring your homesteaded property into an LLC can have an unexpected property-tax consequence.

In Florida, transferring a homesteaded property to or from an LLC may be considered a change in ownership for property-tax purposes, which can cause your existing Save Our Homes assessment cap to be removed and your assessed value to reset toward market value. That could mean a significantly higher property-tax bill the following year.

And if you've already made the transfer this year, the Pinellas County Property Appraiser says there may be a way to transfer the property back before year-end to avoid the reset.

Bottom line: Before you transfer your homestead into an LLC, make sure you understand the potential tax consequences. A decision that looks like a simple ownership change could have a very real impact on your tax bill.

“The Don CeSar of Belleair Bluffs” Could they actually pull it off?
New details are emerging about the proposed 100-room boutique hotel on West Bay Drive, and the developer has some pretty ambitious plans for the property.

The goal? To create a distinctive, upscale destination that could bring a new level of hospitality, dining, and energy to Belleair Bluffs.
If it comes together as envisioned, it could be an interesting addition to the area and potentially another sign of how the Gulf Coast continues to evolve.

But the big question is:
Would you like to see a luxury boutique hotel like this come to Belleair Bluffs? Or do you think the area is better left exactly as it is?
