  22. Home Sales and Homestead Exemption When a homesteaded property sells, the exemption (any exemption) stays with the property for the year in which the sale took place. The new owner must file for the homestead in their name by March 1st of the year following the sale. The value goes to market value for the new buyer as the previous owner’s cap no longer applies. This increase can be lessened if the buyer is able to port their cap from a previously homesteaded property.
