Deadline approaching for homestead/farmstead exemption
The deadline for submitting new applications for a homestead/farmstead exemption is Monday, March 1.
For those who applied and received the exemption credit last year, no further action is needed unless there was a transfer of property or if the use of the property has changed. For example, those who rent the home or rent a portion of the home or are now using the dwelling for commercial purposes must report the change to the assessment office.
