You must meet all of the qualifications for the General Residential Homestead exemption outlined above and you must be under a disability for the purposes of payment of disability benefits under the Federal Old-Age, Survivor’s and Disability Insurance Act. In addition, the over-65 exemption and the school tax ceiling may be transferred to another property if you change your primary residential status to that property. The over-65 exemption is generally the better choice, since it qualifies for a school tax ceiling. If you qualify for both exemptions, you must choose one. You may not receive both this exemption and the disability exemption.

Acceptable proof includes a copy of the front side of your driver’s license or a copy of your birth certificate. This exemption includes a school tax limitation or ceiling. You will qualify for this exemption on the date you become age 65. In addition, a homestead exemption may not be claimed by a spouse on other property. The person claiming the exemption must reside at the property on January 1 and cannot claim a homestead exemption on any other property. To qualify, the property must be designed or adapted for human residence and the homeowner must own the property on January 1 of the year application is made. In other words, a residence homestead is basically a home and a yard. However, no homestead exemption may be granted on more land than is being used as a residence. One house may use one lot, another may use one acre, another three acres and so on.

Land and a house (improvements) must meet the test of residential occupancy.
