The Homestead Exclusion allows you exemption of $25,000 or 50% of your home's value (whichever provides the most benefit). This only applies to your primary residence and is limited to 1 acre or less.
To apply, complete and submit FORM AV9 and required income statements with the tax office by June 1. For disabled applicants, you must also complete FORM AV9-A signed by a physician licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina.
