Did you purchase a home in 2019?
As long as the property you're purchasing or refinancing is your primary residence, filing homestead exemption will significantly lower the property tax on the home. The amount of exemption varies by County. Homeowners may file anytime during the year, but must own the property as of January 1 and file by April 1 in order to qualify during the year. For more information visit them on the web.
