Declared Homestead. Currently, the California homestead exemption is automatic, meaning that a homestead declaration does not need to be filed with the county clerk. Under the new 2021 law, $300,000–$600,000 of a home's equity cannot be touched by judgment creditors.
Certain properties, or portions of properties, are exempt from taxation under the California Constitution. The most common types are homeowner, disabled veterans, welfare, charitable, and institutional exemptions. Visit the Assessor's Exemption webpage for more information.
