How many houses can be under homestead

[Suneel P.]

I bought a house and filed Homestead. Later I moved to a different house and filed homestead for it. In the application I mentioned that my old house was still under homestead. But I still see that both of my houses are under homestead. When is the homestead exemption taken away from the house?

@Suneel P. It is up to you to remove the homestead from the previous property. Here, they will eventually find out, and the penalties are over 50%/year of the non homestead rate, plus the back years of the difference.
