Failure to file on time for your Homestead Exemption will disqualify you for the exemption for this tax year
File for the Exemption
You may have filed your Homestead Exemption at any time since your closing date. If you have not done so, this is your reminder to be sure and claim this valuable exemption before March 1.
Failure to file on time for your Homestead Exemption will disqualify you for the exemption for that tax year.
Please Note !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The application is neither automatic, nor did your mortgage company or closing attorney fill out the application for you when you purchased your new home.
The homeowner must file only one time. Thereafter, it is automatically renewed.
A change in the name of the homeowner requires a new filing.
See Your JAG Officer
If you are in active duty military, filing for Homestead Exemption may actually be to your disadvantage.
Before filing, ask your JAG officer about the differences between the Homestead Exemption and the Soldiers & Sailors Civil Relief Act.

1. Copy of Warranty Deed
