🚨 JOHNSON COUNTY HOMEOWNERS: Are you leaving money on the table? 🚨

If you bought a home recently, or have never filed for it before, this is your official reminder to submit your Homestead Tax Credit application before the July 1st deadline!

What does it do? It exempts a chunk of your home’s value from being taxed, giving you a nice discount on your annual property tax bill.

The best part? You only have to file for it ONCE. As long as you own and occupy the home as your primary residence, the credit sticks with you every year until you move.

Bonus Tip: If you or a loved one are 65 or older, you are also eligible for an additional Homestead Tax Exemption right on the exact same form.

How to file:

1️⃣ Tap the link in my bio () to download the official Johnson County PDF.

2️⃣ Fill out the basic info and sign it.

3️⃣ Email or mail it directly to the Johnson County Assessor’s office in Iowa City!

Got questions about local real estate or homeownership perks? My DMs are always open!

Closing day magic ❤️🏡

What an absolute honor it was to help these two incredible women find their home—and somewhere along the way, gain two friends for life. From the very beginning, this journey was filled with laughter, trust, and so much heart.

You can truly feel the love between them, and it made this whole experience that much more special. And when we saw that bold red front door… we all knew it was meant to be. ❤️ Because as the saying goes, a red door means love lives here—and there couldn’t be a more perfect fit.

I’m so grateful you trusted me to be part of this chapter. This is why I love what I do—getting to meet amazing people who quickly become so much more than clients. You two are officially part of my forever circle… flesh and blood my treasures!🫶

Cheers to new memories, new beginnings, and a home filled with love.
