Letter from attorney to opposing counsel requesting documentation concerning homestead exemption for change of venue motion.
Declared Homestead. Currently, the California homestead exemption is automatic, meaning that a homestead declaration does not need to be filed with the county clerk. Under the new 2021 law, $300,000–$600,000 of a home's equity cannot be touched by judgment creditors.
Applicants must mail the application to the Department of Revenue (DOR) by September 30 of each year. By December 15th the DOR certifies to collectors those applicants who meet requirements of the homestead exemption credit.
A homestead is the real property occupied by an Eligible Taxpayer as their primary residence. You can only claim one (1) primary residence statewide as your homestead.
