To qualify for the age 65 or older residence homestead exemption, the individual must be age 65 or older, have an ownership interest in the property and live in the home as his or her principal residence.
This does not freeze your property tax bill, but it does freeze the property valuation. To qualify, you must meet the following criteria: Property owner must be 65 years of age or older. Property must be the primary residence and the owner(s) must have resided at the residence for at least 2 years.
Homestead exemptions primarily work by reducing your home value in the eyes of the tax assessor. So if you qualify for a $50,000 exemption and your home is worth $200,000, then you will be taxed as if your home is worth only $150,000.
