Homestead, Agricultural city in Miami-Dade County, United States.
The city spans 14.4 square miles between Biscayne National Park to the east and Everglades National Park to the west in Florida.
Following the Florida East Coast Railway construction in 1904, Homestead received its first station and became Miami-Dade County's second oldest city upon incorporation in 1913.
The Homestead Historic Town Hall Museum displays local artifacts and documents that tell the story of the region's development through permanent exhibitions.
Residents can benefit from property tax reductions through the Homestead Exemption program, which provides up to $50,000 in taxable value savings.
The Save Our Homes Cap restricts annual assessed property value increases to 3% or the Consumer Price Index, protecting long-term homeowners from steep tax rises.
