Homestead Exemptions provide relief from property taxes by exempting all or a portion of the valuation of the homestead from taxation. You may file for a homestead exemption if you are over age 65 and have a limited income, are a disabled individual (only certain disabilities qualify), or certain disabled veterans and their widows/widowers, and are the owner/occupant of record of the property. You may file for an exemption between February 1st and June 30th of each year.
