FAQ

By law, a homestead exemption is not transferable.

Effective January 1, 2021, state law allows you to transfer your 'Save Our Homes' benefit to a new home if you had the homestead exemption on your old home in either of the three tax roll years preceding the year for which you established your new homestead.

You must file the Transfer of Homestead Assessment Difference Form DR-501T with the homestead application Form DR-501 for your new home. The due date to file these forms with your county property appraiser's office is March 1 of the first year after you have moved.

You must be 70 or older. For Clauses 41C and 41C½, the eligible age may be reduced to 65 or older, by vote of the legislative body of your city or town. You must own and occupy the property as your domicile.
