FAQ
The Nebraska homestead exemption is a program that lowers the overall property tax for homeowners who meet various criteria. To be eligible, seniors must be age 65 or older with an annual household income below $51,301 for single people or $60,901 for married people.
Homestead tax exemptions usually offer a fixed discount on taxes, such as exempting the first $50,000 of the assessed value with the remainder taxed at the normal rate. With a $50,000 homestead exemption, a home valued at $150,000 would be taxed on only $100,000 of assessed value.
“A homestead exemption saved the average Travis County property owner $1,876 on their taxes in 2023,” added Mann. “Exemptions continue to be the easiest and fastest way to lower your property tax bill.”
