- A person is entitled to homestead status when they declare the property to be their permanent residence.
- They do not have to reside on the property year round, but they cannot receive a residency-based benefit on another property anywhere else.
- Only one exemption is allowed to an individual or family unit.
Homestead fraud costs all taxpayers. If someone is not paying their fair share it means everyone else has to make up the difference.
