FAQ
Homeowners over the age of 65: Must not have a total household income over $38,600/year if applying in 2024, or $40,000 if applying in 2025, which includes the Ohio adjusted gross income of the owner and the owner's spouse. Must be age 65 by December 31 of the calendar year for which the exemption is sought.
Ohio's Homestead Exemption protects the first $25,000 of your home's value from taxation. For example, if your home is worth $100,000, you will be taxed as if the home were worth $75,000. On average, those who qualify for the exemption save $400 a year.
Homestead exemptions reduce your home's appraised value and, as a result, lower your property taxes. To apply for an exemption on your residence homestead, contact the Franklin County Appraisal District.
Homesteaders included citizens, immigrants seeking naturalization, women, men, African Americans, and whites. American Indians, who were not recognized as U.S. citizens, were excluded.
The new law established a three-fold homestead acquisition process: file an application, improve the land, and file for deed of title. Any U.S. citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. Government could file an application and lay claim to 160 acres of surveyed Government land.
End of homesteading The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ended homesteading; by that time, federal government policy had shifted to retaining control of western public lands. The only exception to this new policy was in Alaska, for which the law allowed homesteading until 1986.
The Homestead Act, enacted during the Civil War in 1862, provided that any adult citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government could claim 160 acres of surveyed government land. Claimants were required to live on and “improve” their plot by cultivating the land.
