You must file an Application for Residential Homestead Exemption with the Webb County Appraisal District between January 1 and April 30 of the tax year. State law also provides for the filing of a late application. During the year, if you turn 65 or become disabled, you must apply for the 65 or older or disabled exemption no later than one year from the qualification date. A copy of a valid Texas State issued driver's license or ID is required.

You may file for a homestead exemption up to one year after the delinquency date -- usually February 1. If you are 65 or older or disabled, you must apply for the exemption no later than one year from your 65th birthday or one year after the delinquency date, whichever is later.

If you temporarily move away from your home, you may continue to receive the exemption if you do not establish a principal residence elsewhere, you intend to return to the home, and you are away less than two years. You may continue to receive the exemption if you do not occupy the residence for more than two years only if you are in military service or live in a facility providing services related to health, infirmity or aging from the two-year period.

Call the Property Appraiser's Office at (386) 775-5257. That is also the number to contact if there is a dispute about the assessed value of your home.

No. YOU NO LONGER QUALIFY FOR YOUR EXEMPTION IF: Property granted an exemption is sold or otherwise disposed of; when ownership changes in any manner; when the applicant for homestead exemption ceases to use the property as his or her homestead; or when the status of the owner changes so as to change the exempt status of the property. 196.011 (9) (a) F.S.

Starting July 2, 2007, the Homestead Exemption is now available to all Ohio homeowners, regardless of income, who are either age 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled. These changes are the result of House Bill 119, which was signed into law by Gov. Ted Strickland on June 30, 2007. Previously, eligibility for the Homestead Exemption was restricted through income tests that disqualified most senior citizens.

To apply, complete the application form (DTE 105A-Temporary, Homestead Exemption Application Form for Senior Citizens, Disabled Persons, and Surviving Spouses for the Extended Filing Period in 2007), then file it with your local county auditor. The form is available from county auditors and from the Ohio Department of Taxation's Web site at tax.ohio.gov.

If you are at least 65 years of age or totally disabled and your total income is not more than the maximum allowed (including social security), you may qualify for a deduction on your real estate taxes. The income limit is adjusted annually by the State for inflation. You may call to get the current income limit and request a form or print the form off our website.

Contact our Assessing Department as (248) 871-2470 to correct your homestead status. Recent tax law changes allow the City to correct the homestead status for the current year and 3 years back. If you are due a refund for prior year tax payments, your refund will be issued by the Oakland County Treasurer's Office.

The general homestead exemption is provided by state law for owner-occupied residential properties. The exemption removes a portion of your property value from taxation resulting in a lower tax amount.

In order to qualify for this exemption, you must have owned and occupied the property as of January 1st of the application year. The property must be your principal residence and you may not claim another homestead on any other property.
