To get the homestead exemption you have to be a a full time resident by January 1st. Florida Real Estate Taxes are for that calendar year unlike some states that are for the prior year. You have to apply for the Homestead Exemption before March 1st in Sumter County. They also want a Florida DL/ID and a letter from your prior county saying you gave up the homeowners exemption there.
