I think that would be the way to start an implementation - have a generous enough homestead allowance that it really only affects investors and commercial interests.

Of course, remember that apartment buildings are commercial businesses…

Also excluding homesteads destroys the public schools, because they’re often in areas that really only have houses and a Walmart or two, and if the entire property tax burden is transferred to the Walmart it’ll just close.
