Homestead Office Hours:   Monday - Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm

Homeowners who live in their own home can qualify for a homestead classification. This classification provides the property with a substantial property tax savings.

To file for the homestead classification all new homeowners must apply in person at the City Assessor’s office or filling out the application and mailing it to city hall. Link provided below. The homeowner(s) should bring social security numbers for all of the owners who occupy, a copy of the Certificate of Real Estate Value (should be in with the owners closing papers), photo identification and a copy of one of the following proofs of ownership:

• Warranty Deed
• Contract for Deed
• Quit Claim Deed
• Certificate of Title

After the initial filing, the homestead status is automatically renewed. No further action by the homeowner is necessary until they sell the property, rent the property or no longer use the home as their primary place of living. The homeowner must then contact the Assessor within 30 days of the change in occupancy.

If there has been a change in martial status or a death of one of the owners, the homeowner must notify the Assessor of this change. This change is needed to update the homestead classification and name changes may be needed so that tax statements will come to the proper homeowner.

Property owners who are blind or permanently and totally disabled may qualify for and additional tax reduction. Please call the City Assessor Office at (763) 531-1217 for more information.
