FAQ
You are no longer eligible for Homestead Exemption if: 1. The residential unit on which you claim homestead exemption is rented. 2. The residential unit is no longer your permanent home.
Exceptions to the Florida Homestead Law include the following: Mechanics liens on the property to build, improve, or repair your homestead. Liens recorded prior to acquiring your homestead due to special assessments or homeowner association dues. State and property taxes and IRS tax liens.
General Homestead Exemption (GHE) (35 ILCS 200/15-175) The amount of exemption is the increase in the current year's equalized assessed value (EAV), above the 1977 EAV, up to a maximum of $10,000 in Cook County, $8,000 in counties contiguous to Cook County, and $6,000 in all other counties.
To ease the burden on taxpayers, the Property Appraiser automatically renews homestead exemptions. If there have been no changes to the property or changes in ownership or use, and the homesteaded property is still your primary residence, your Homestead Exemption will be automatically renewed each year on January 1st.
You are no longer eligible if one of the following is true: The home is no longer your primary residence or the residence of someone you can claim as a dependent. You rent the property for more than 30 days per year. The home has changed ownership, either because of a sale, divorce, marriage, death, or another event.
Claiming homestead exemption in Florida requires the homeowner to (1) meet residency requirements, (2) file an application with the county property appraiser's office, (3) provide proof of primary residence, and (4) annually verify continued eligibility for the exemption.
Benefit: Following the Illinois Property Tax Code, this exemption lowers the equalized assessed value of the property by $8,000.
