Ways to pay less
- Homeowners: file for the homestead exemption. The county homestead guide says the exemption saves $1,000 on a taxpayer's assessed value and that annual renewal is automatic. How: See the county homestead guide for details.
- Household income $30,000 or less: double homestead. Anyone of any age with gross household income of $30,000 or less for the previous year can qualify for the double homestead. How: Apply January 1 to March 15; those under 65 must apply annually.
- Seniors 65+, income $74,500 or less: property valuation limit. The head of household must be 65 or older prior to January 1, own and occupy the homestead, have a valid homestead exemption on file, and have gross household income not above $74,500 for the previous calendar year. If approved, this limitation locks in the taxable value for a homestead. How: Apply between January 1 and March 15, or within 30 days from the date issued on a Notice of Change in Assessed Value of Real Estate.
