DID YOU PURCHASE A HOME IN 2022? - If you purchased a home in 2022, you can file for Homestead Exemption between January 1- April 1, 2023. You will receive a discount on your taxes as long as the home is your primary residence beginning in 2023. You only need to do this once to take advantage of the tax break discounts.
For details on homestead tax exemptions, go directly to your county or local tax assessor's website. Some states require you to fill out an application (often available online).
Also, be aware that some sites may be fraudulent and may request payment to fill out an application. Your county or local tax assessor will not require you to pay a fee to fill out an application for homestead tax exemption.
