PROPERTY TAX
HOMESTEAD
NOTICE*
* This will affect the amount of property
tax you pay in 2015, and
it may affect your eligibility for a property
tax refund.
Please contact your county assessor to file
a homestead application on or before December 15, 2014, if one of the following
applies:
• You purchased a property in the past
year and you, or a qualifying relative,
occupy the property for homestead
purposes on December 1, 2014; or
• You, or a qualifying relative occupy a
property for homestead purposes on
December 1, 2014, and the property
was previously classified as non-homestead.
A qualifying relative for homestead purposes depends on the type of property. For
residential property, a qualifying relative
can be a parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece of the
owner. This relationship may be by blood
or marriage. For agricultural property, a
qualifying relative can be a child, grandchild, sibling, or parent of the owner or of
the spouse of the owner.
Once you have been granted the homestead classification, no further applications
are necessary unless they are specifically
requested by the county assessor.
You must also contact the assessor by
December 15, 2014, if you are the property owner, or a qualifying relative of the
property owner, and the use of the property has changed during the past year.
If you should sell, move, or for any reason
no longer qualify for the homestead classification, you are required to notify the
county assessor within 30 days of the
change in homestead status. Failure to
notify the county assessor within this 30day period is punishable by recalculation
of tax as non-homestead, in addition to a
penalty equal to 100 percent of the homestead benefits.
