As we get closer to tax season, Homestead exemptions are a great way to reduce your taxable
If you bought a house in 2018, make sure to file a homestead exemption by April 30th.
A homestead exemption removes a portion of your home’s value from taxation and limits the increase of your property taxes. It only has to be filed one time. You are eligible to file if you bought a home in 2018 or prior, and it is your primary residence.
Before you file, your driver’s license must be up to date with your new home’s address.
