2016 Homestead exemption

Did you purchase a home in 2015?
 
Homestead Exemption is one of the biggest benefits of owning a personal residence.  In order to get this discount on your property taxes for 2016, you MUST apply for it before April 1st 2016.

In most counties, to be eligible for the current year, you must have owned and occupied the property as of January 1st.  If the property is located within city limits, the homeowner may be required to file with the city as well.
