Did
You Know that the Homeowner's Exemption could save you money
on Property taxes every year?
What is Homeowners
Exemption (HOX)?
If you own a home and occupy it as your residence on the tax
lien date of January 1, you may apply for a Homeowners
Exemption. The exemption will reduce your assessed value by
$7,000. On an average, you will save between $70.00 and $80.00
on your taxes.
If you
are a new owner, you will automatically receive an exemption
claim form in the mail. There is no cost to file. To receive
100 percent of the exemption ($7,000), you must file by February
15. If you file after February 15 but before December 10,
you will receive 80 percent of the exemption ($5,600).
The exemption
can be applied to your change of ownership supplemental if
the prior owner of the property (seller) was not receiving
the exemption.
