Apply for Homestead Exemptions by April 1, 2026

Don’t sleep on your homestead exemption. It can reduce the taxable value of your primary residence and lower your property taxes—no extra effort, just a smart move. If you live in and own your home, it’s worth checking your eligibility and filing early. In other words: claim what’s yours and keep more money in your pocket.
