Una exencion contributiva para su hogar de residencia disminuye el
valor imponible de la propiedad, redudendo as! los impuestos a pagar

una exencion de $15,000, usted pagara los impuestos residenciales de
una propriedad valorada en $35,000.
iQuien es elegible para recibir una exencion contributiva?
Los duenos de una propiedad utilizada como residencia principal comen-
zando el lero de enero tienen derecho, desde esa fecha, a recibir la exen-
cion contributiva de $15,000 para reducir ios impuestos escolares a pagar

A variety of homestead
exemptions could lower
your property taxes!
A homestead exemption lowers the property taxes on your home
by lowering its taxable value. If your home is valued at $50,000
and you receive a $15,000 homestead exemption, your home will
be taxed as if it were worth $35,000.
Who qualifies for an exemption?
Anyone who owns a home on Jan. 1 and uses it as a primary resi-
i dence on that date is entitled to a $15,000 homestead exemption
to lower school taxes this year...and it doesn't matter if your home
is a house, condominium or mobile home. Counties, cities and
special taxing districts may also offer homestead exemptions.
Are other exemptions available?
if you’re disabled—or if you’re 65 years old or older—you are
entitled to an additional $10,000 school fax exemption on your
home. And if you qualify for the 65 or older or disabled exemp-
tion, you're also entitled to a permanent, locked-in “ceiling" on
the school property taxes on your home. (The county, city or junior
college may adopt a tax ceiling to lock in 2010 taxes as the high-
est amount for 65 and older or disabled homeowners.) The age 65
or older homeowners school tax ceiling transfers to the surviving
spouse, if the spouse is 55 years of age or older at the time of
death and lives in and owns the home. The age 65 or older home-
owners (or their surviving spouses 55 years of age or older) also
may transfer the percentage of school tax paid, based on their
former home’s school tax ceiling, to a new home.
if you're a disabled veteran who receives from the Veterans Affairs
(VA)—(1) 100 percent disability compensation due to a service
connected disability and (2) a rating of 100 percent disabled or a
determination of individual unemployability, you are entitled to an
exemption from taxation of the total appraised value of your resi-
dent homestead. A surviving spouse does not qualify.
Do I have to apply each year?
No. if you had a homestead exemption on your home in 2009,
: you won’t need to reapply for 2010 unless your chief appraiser
requires it. However, if you haven’t received an exemption on your
present home—or if you’ve moved to a new home—you’ll need to
file for an exemption for 2010. If you are 65 this year, you may file
for the age 65 or older exemption up to one year after the date
you turned 65. And if you became disabled, you need to file for
the disabled person’s exemption.
When and where should I file?
File applications by April 30 at your appraisal district office. If you
need more time, contact us at:
