Sherri Johnson previously posted a great article on the iisue of Married Couples and Seperate Hopmestead Exemptions.
UPDATE: Since the below article was written, the Second District Court of Appeal has issued an opinion in the Pasco County Wells v. Haldeos case. The 2nd District rejected the Property Appraiser's contention that a married couple can never receive separate homestead exemptions, and instead held that "in the unique circumstances presented in this case, where the husband and wife have established two separate permanent residences in good faith and have no financial connection with and do not provide benefits, income, or support to each other, each may be granted a homestead exemption if they otherwise qualify."
