The exemption offers eligible homeowners the opportunity to shield up to $28,000 of the market value of their homestead (a dwelling and up to one acre of land) from property taxation. For example, if a home is valued at $100,000, the property tax will generally be billed as if the home were valued at $72,000.
No, for real property, you do not need to refile each year. The only instance where you would need to file each year is if you live in a personal property mobile home, you will need to bring a copy of your title or a copy of a land contract each year to refile for your homestead per IC.
At its core, homestead exemption reduces the taxable value of a homeowner's primary residence, meaning a portion of the home value will not be taxed. This reduction results in lower property tax bills.
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.
