Talk:Homestead exemption

message: Merged in info from Homestead (law) article written by Rj. -- BD2412 talk July 9, 2005 16:30 (UTC)
In Florida a tv attorney says even the sales procedes from a homestead are exempt if the procededs are used to by another house. Is this correct?
:In Florida, this is correct but only for purchase of another Florida homestead property, and for a limited time. If you don't sink the proceeds into a new homestead within a 'reasonable' time, the proceeds lose homestead exemption status. I don't know what the law might be in any other states. bd2412 T 18:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure that Texas requires an application for a homestead exemption (see FAQ and sample application).  Whether or not the application process is simply a formality--who knows? Ufwuct 03:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I live in Arizona and after learning about this Homestead exemption and also for the fact that Americans love to sue,  I like to know how to apply in Arizona.
::The homestead exemptions vary state to state. Typically they apply to a home lived in by the owner. Whether or not you have to formally apply is determined state by state, but in most instances it's something that's asserted.LH 18:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

message: If someone wants to do a jurisdiction wide survey of homestead exemptions that undertaking might be useful. Right now there are specific examples for 3 states, and that's needlessly arbitrary.
I think that also, any list or table of the state specific exemptions should be in a separate article or table, although if someone thinks they'd be unobtrusive here I'd like to see that.
Finally, while I don't think we need detailed examples of how Texas' exemption statute works in this article, it is important to note the 5 or so states that have no dollar-limit on their exemptions (Texas, Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, etc.), since they are such a rarity and are a topic that is frequently of interest to people looking at this article.
