If your home is owner-occupied, you automatically qualify for a Homestead exemption and assessment freeze.
This is one of the few middle class tax exemptions left.
For example, the standard tax on a 2 bedroom home may be about $4400/yr. With the Homestead Exemption it is closer to $2400/yr. In addition, there are several other exemptions for senior citizens, disabled people, widows of police, fire and military killed in action, etc. Go to your county website and make sure you file by March 31st.
