After your initial application for the Homestead Exemption has been made and the exemption has been granted, a receipt will be mailed to you each year in early January to verify that the status, use and ownership has not changed.
Your homestead and most other exemptions will automatically renew every year, unless you notify our office that you are no longer eligible. If you move, you must file a new homestead exemption application for your new residence.
