FILING FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IN 2010
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Filing for one’s Homestead exemption is easy and saves you money, every year you own the property as your primary residence, on your real estate taxes! Many Counties send you paperwork that allows you to file without going to the courthouse. But if you have misplaced their correspondance, here’s what you need to know:
Most Counties require Homeowners to provide their Warranty Deed book and page, proof of residence, social security numbers, driver’s license and car tag info.
Below is where to go for more information and/or to file:
