A homestead property is a dwelling primarily used by an owner as his or her permanent home. The owner may be living temporarily at another location, but he or she must have the intention of returning to that home. No one can have more than one permanent home at any one time.
You can apply by using the Homestead Exemption application on the Philadelphia Tax Center. You don't need to create a username and password to submit your application online. If a previous owner is listed, call (215) 686-9200 or submit a paper application instead.
Who Qualifies? You are considered a "natural person" (owner or claimant), and not a living trust, irrevocable trust, or other legal entity, such as a S corporation or LLC, etc. Your homestead is in Michigan (whether you rent or own). You were a Michigan Resident for at least 6 months of the year you are filing in.
Minnesota statute allows homeowners to claim up to $390,000 in property value, or $975,000 if agricultural, as a "homestead." State law limits this exemption to 160 acres, which in practice may apply to farms, but has removed what was once a half-acre limit on property within city limits.
Property Tax Deferral for Senior Citizens may allow you to defer a portion of the property taxes you owe. To qualify, all of these must be true: You are 65 or older in the year you apply. If married, one of you is 65 or older and the other is at least 62.
You either: Own the home and plan to live there at least 6 months every year. - or - You own the home but live in a nursing home, hospital or extended care facility. You maintain your home, but you have not leased or rented it. -or- You own the home and are on active military duty.
To qualify for homestead: You must own the property, or be a relative or in-law of the owner (son, daughter, parent, grandchild, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew). You or your relative must occupy the property as the primary place of residence. You must be a Minnesota resident.
Homesteads. Homestead is a program to reduce property taxes for owners who also occupy their home and are a Minnesota resident. You can qualify for this tax reduction if you own and occupy your house as your main place of residence or are a relative of an owner living in the owner's house.
