The state and local income tax (SALT) deduction allows you to deduct up to $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately) for a combination of property taxes and either state and local income taxes or sales taxes. Renters might qualify for a property tax deduction or a property tax credit on their state taxes.
To claim the exemption, the homeowner must make a one-time filing with the county assessor where the property is located. The claim form, BOE-266, Claim for Homeowners' Property Tax Exemption, is available from the county assessor.
The Homeowners' Exemption, which allows a $7,000 exemption from property taxation, is authorized by Article XIII, section 3, subdivision (k) of the California Constitution and implemented by Revenue and Taxation Code section 218. The exemption reduces a dwelling's assessed value on a qualified residence.
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.
The exemption is not entered anywhere on your federal income tax return. Homestead exemptions are usually filed at your county courthouse, at the tax assessor's office.
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.
Property Tax-Aide features three California property tax relief programs: Property Tax Postponement, available for older residents, and Homeowner's Property Tax Exemption, available to all homeowners, and the Base Year Value Transfer for Homeowners at least Age 55 or Disabled (Proposition 19).
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.
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.
