Obtain the claim form from the County Assessor's office where the property is located. Submit the completed form to the same office.

You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.

You can only deduct property taxes on your tax return if you take the itemized deduction. You can deduct up to $10,000 of state and local taxes — including property taxes — for single or married couples filing jointly and $5,000 for couples filing separately.

The Homeowners' Exemption reduces your property taxes by deducting $7,000 from your property's assessed value before applying the tax rate, and given the one percent statewide property tax rate, this generally equates to $70 in property tax savings.
