Have you filed for your Homestead Tax Exemption? THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION is filed when you live in a home as your primary residence, saving you an average of 10% on your tax bill and limits the taxable value from rising more than 10% per year (homestead cap). There are other exemptions for homeowners that include: Over-65, Disability, Disabled Veteran, Calamity and even exemptions for those that have installed renewable energy sources in their homes, such as solar or wind power. You can see which exemptions are already filed for your home via your county’s appraisal district website. Another way to lower property taxes is by protesting the YEARLY VALUATION ASSESSMENT of your home. There are key deadlines to meet and it’s critical to know what information is needed in order to be successful. You’ll need to file the protest by May 15, 2022, compile market data, comparables, and other evidence to support your case, and attend the hearing(s).
