Don't know anything about NY taxes, but if your home isn't homesteaded in NY, then you can homestead here in Florida, but you missed this years homestead exemption, as I believe you must have owned the property on January 1st and filed by the end of March. All you need to do is register to vote and and have a FL driving license and then apply for a homestead.
I know this will come as a shock to many, but you don't have to live here any amount of time. The 6 months and a day rumor is a falsehood. Source: The man who was responsible for getting Homesteading passed, Ken Wilkinson
