Florida resident
In order to homestead, the primary thing is you must be a Florida resident. This means you must have your car insured with a Florida insurerer, car registered in Florida, and have a Florida driver license. In order to do that, you have to give up your other state driver license at the time you get the Florida license. Lots of hoops to jump through for that drivers license, too.
Yes, you can have a Florida homestead while owning a home in another state but the Florida home must be your primary (182 days) home.
You will be asked for proof when you apply for the homestead.
