FAQ
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.
A homestead can protect the $50,000. There are two types of homesteads, automatic and declared.
Homeowners' exemption If you own and occupy your home as your principal place of residence, you may be eligible for an exemption of up to $7,000 off the dwelling's assessed value, resulting in a property tax savings of approximately $70 to $80 annually.
You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.
The home must have been the principal place of residence of the owner on the lien date, January 1st. To claim the exemption, the homeowner must make a one-time filing with the county assessor where the property is located.
Complete a homestead declaration form. Sign your declaration in front of a notary. Record the homestead declaration form with your county recorder's office.
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.
TO RECEIVE A CLAIM FORM: Homeowners can call the Assessor's Exemption Unit at (408) 299-6460 or e-mail the Assessor's Office at Exemptions@asr.sccgov . When contacting or e-mailing the Assessor's Office please provide the property address and assessor's parcel number.
Taxes aren't determined by age, so you will never age out of paying taxes. People who are 65 or older at the end of 2024 have to file a return for tax year 2024 (which is due in 2025) if their gross income is $16,550 or higher.
