The protected amount is called the “homestead exemption.” All homeowners automatically have a homeowner's exemption, which protects part of their equity from involuntary sales (foreclosures). Recording a declaration of ownership extends this protection to voluntary sales.
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.
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.
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.
