Are You Now Eligible to Pay Less Property Tax?


Do You Need to File for a Homestead Exemption?



Last Year Did You:

Purchase a Primary Residence?
Turn 62?, Turn 65?, Become Disabled?


If So, You Need To File for a Homestead Exemption

A homestead exemption is a reduction in homeowners' property taxes. To qualify, the homeowner must apply for this exemption on or before April 1st. Once granted, this exemption is automatically renewed each year as long as they continually occupy the home under the same ownership. The home must be your legal residence for all purposes including the registration of your vehicles and the filing of your income tax. You cannot file for homestead exemption on rental property, vacant land or on more than one property. In addition to basic homestead exemption there are additional exemptions for residents age 62 and older and/or disabled and disabled veterans. Some special exemption types require in person visit to the tax offices.
