FLEX AUGER SYSTEMS What Are They? exclusions can be used in your school district, county or munici pality. Homestead and farmstead exclusions can be implemented without any changes to the exist ing tax structure as long as the tax ing jurisdiction can pay for the ex clusion without raising real prop erty taxes. What is the homestead exclusion? The homestead exclusion is a way of providing real property tax relief to homeowners. The home stead exclusion works by reducing the assessed value of homestead properties, thus reducing the teal property tax on these homes. The exclusion provides the same dollar tax reduction to all eligible prop erties in the taxing jurisdiction, in cluding Cum houses, condomin iums. single family homes, and other types of permanent resi dences owned by the occupant Homestead exclusions will not be the same value for all taxing juris dictions. There will be one exclu sion value for your school district one value for the county, and one value for your municipality. Homestead exclusions provide a reduction in the homestead properties assessed value. The re duction can be up to one-half of the median assessed value of all homesteads in the taxing jurisdic tion. (The median value is the middle number of all homestead property values in the jurisdiction when they are lined up from smallest to largest) FARM STORAGE BINS To illustrate this, let’s assume the median assessed value of homesteads in the Changing Area School District is $40,000. The school board is allowing a home stead exclusion of one-half (the maximum) of this median value ($20,000). All homestead proper ties will receive a $20,000 reduc tion in their assessed values. That means that a homestead property valued at $50,000 will be taxed as if it was valued at $30,000. This effectively reduces the school real property tax bill by 40 percent Now you’re probably asking, “What’s a homestead property?” A homestead property is a dwell ing used primarily by the owner as their permanent home. No one can have more than one permanent home at any one time. Rental units, vacation homes, camps or other homes where the owner does not live on a permanent basis ar not included. In general, the ad dress where you are registered to vote and have registered your driver’s license is considered your permanent home. The farmstead exclusion is similar to the homestead exclusion in that it targets real property taxes for farmers. It allows for a reduc tion in lax on the buildings (other than the farm house which is cov ered in the homestead exclusion) on a farm, as long as the farm owner lives on the farm.
