DLGF > Homestead Credit & Deductions Homestead Credit & Deductions

Deductions

Deductions work by reducing the amount of assessed value a taxpayer pays on a given parcel of property. Application for deductions are due not later than June 10 annually. Taxpayers do not need to reapply for deductions annually. Reapplication should only occur if the property is sold, the title is changed or the home is refinanced (mortgage deduction only).

Deductions applied for prior to the annual June 10 deadline will be applied to the next year’s tax bill. For example, a homeowner who owns his home as of March 1, 2007 and applies for a deduction in May 2007 will see the deduction applied to his 2008 tax bill.
