Persons with a residence homestead are entitled to a 20% exemption of the market valuation of their home. The Over-65 exemption is for property owners who claim their residence as their homestead - this exemption is a maximum of $85,000 of taxable valuation.
HOMESTEAD LIMITATION (aka Residence Homestead “Cap”) For residence homesteads, the annual increase is limited to 10% more than the previous year's appraised value plus and new improvements. For example: In 2021, a property with the residence homestead has a market value and appraised value of $100,000.
To keep things simple, let's say the assessed value of your home is $200,000 and your property tax rate is 1%. Your property tax bill would equal $2,000. But if you were eligible for a homestead tax exemption of $50,000, the taxable value of your home would drop to $150,000, meaning your tax bill would drop to $1,500.
A general residence homestead exempts a portion of your residence homestead's value from taxation, potentially lowering your taxes.
