FAQ

Do I need to re-apply for my Homestead Exemption every year? No, you do not. The Property Appraiser mails out in January an “Automatic Residential Renewal Receipt” to every homesteaded property owner. If you do not have any changes, you can keep the receipt as proof that you are eligible for the automatic renewal.

To View Your Exemption Application's Status from the website Go to .polkpa. Click the property search tab. Once you have your search criteria entered, Click the "Search Records" button. In the search results, click the Parcel ID hyperlink of the appropriate property. This opens the Parcel Details Page.

If you fail to timely file for the exemption, you waive your entitlement to the exemption for the year.

You must occupy the dwelling as your principal residence as of January 1 of each year to qualify for the Homeowners' Exemption for that year.

First-time Homestead Exemption applicants and persons applying for the Homestead Assessment Difference (Portability) can file online.

If you own and occupy your home as your principal place of residence on January 1, you may apply for an exemption of $7,000 off your assessed value for an annual savings of approximately $70 on your property taxes. New property owners will automatically receive an exemption application.
