Can I file for homestead on more than one property?
To be eligible for full homestead benefits, you must meet all of the qualifications for homestead on or before January 2 in the year for which you are applying.

You may also be eligible for full homestead benefits if you meet all of the qualifications for homestead on or before December 1 in the year for which you are applying. This is often called a "midyear" homestead.

In addition to your own homestead, you may be able to obtain a homestead for any property you own in which a qualifying relative lives as his or her primary place of residence.
