Please note that this cut-off time limit does not apply to homeowners who are disabled or who are age 65 and over in many states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_can_I_apply_for_a_homestead_exemption\"><\/span>When can I apply for a homestead exemption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#f6efdb\" class=\"has-background\">You need to make an application  with the local appraisal district.  You do not need to reapply because the county assessor&#8217;s office should automatically apply the exemption to each year&#8217;s property tax bill. You need a fresh application only if you make any changes to your ownership deed. Every district is different, however, so do check the local rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_homestead_exemption_lower_property_taxes\"><\/span>Does homestead exemption lower property taxes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is a definite Yes ! The reason is simple- homestead tax exemptions exempt a certain percentage of home value from property taxes. Now the property tax is based on value of the property . So once you apply the homestead exemption on a property , the final bill for property is computed much lesser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_homestead_exemption_calculated\"><\/span>How is the homestead exemption calculated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> It is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Step 1: Write value of property<\/li><li>Step 2: Write homestead exemption allowed<\/li><li>Property Tax is  tax rate in your state x (Step1-Step2)<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0homestead exemption\u00a0is a legal framework passed by certain states in USA to help residents from\u00a0losing the value of the property on account of property taxes,\u00a0creditors, and in the event of the death of the homeowner&#8217;s spouse.
