The maximum exemption available is 100% of the County's average assessed value for single family residences (120% for disabled veterans and persons with qualifying disabilities). The home must be owned and occupied from January 1 through August 15 of the tax year being exempted.
Homeowners age 65 and older, and persons with disabilities, can get an exemption for the first $20,000 of their primary residence. Qualifying homeowners can get a property tax credit for their primary residence. Qualifying veterans can get a $3,000 refund for the assessed value of their primary residence.
Different jurisdictions provide different degrees of protection under homestead exemption laws. Some protect only property up to a certain value, and others have acreage limitations.

Obtain the claim form from the County Assessor's office where the property is located. Submit the completed form to the same office. Once the exemption has been granted, it remains effective until a change in eligibility occurs, such as selling or moving out of the home. Annual filing is not required.
