you must be a resident of Florida and make the property your permanent residence. This might determine if someone stays longer each year. Many snowbirds return at the end of October and stay till May. Some are still working and might only stay at The Villages a couple of weeks per month. If a "Snowbird" is renting it's usually between December and April. That's considered the height of the season.
Correct, can only have one Home that claims Homestead. After five years did not know my wife didn’t claim Homestead at Maryland. Submitted Homestead paperwork this year and it was granted.
