From what I have heard, you can only homestead one home--that's fine. My question is what to do with our two cars. Should we register and insure one car in Florida and one in Nevada or can we register both in Florida even though she will be spending 9 months per year in Nevada? Florida car insurance is much cheaper, so we would like to register both cars there. We will appreciate any information that you have to share. Thanks.

I was told yesterday that I have to have a Florida drivers license before homestead can be done here. Has to be done before Jan.
1 of the year you plan to homestead. There’s a whole list of other requirement as well. Tax collectors office has all the info.
You’ll love it here, so worth the effort!
