A homestead exemption helps you save on taxes on your home. An exemption removes part of the value of your property from taxation and lowers your taxes. For example, if your home is valued at $100,000 and you qualify for a $20,000 exemption, you pay taxes on your home as if it was worth only $80,000.
If you purchased a home in 2018, and it is your primary residence, you have until April 30 to file for your homestead exemption.
Once a homestead exemption is filed, the exemption stays on county record until the house transfers owners or the exemption is removed by the owner.
