Default Homestead re tax & low-income tax exemptions

This real-estate tax exemption is definitely worthwhile addressing. You must qualify by proof of residing in TV longer than six months/year. ID is requested such as driver's license or a utility bill, or bank statement with the TV address, and of course proof of home ownership. With that, you qualify for a $50,000 exemption on your RE tax.

We live in Sumter Cty and applied for the exemption at the Cty Tax Collector's Office in the same building as the Sherriff's Office on Rte 466.

There is another $25,000 exemption if your income is less than $27,000/yr (not sure the exact dollar amt but close).
