A Homestead exemption is a tax break a property owner may be entitled to if he or she owns a single-family residence and occupies it as their primary residence on the first day of the tax year for which they are applying. The following are the four types of Homestead Exemptions:
|
|
Regular Homestead is available to all citizens of Alabama who own and occupy a single-family residence, including manufactured homes as their home and use this property for no other purposes. The amount of the exemption is $4000.00 in assessed value for state taxes and $2000.00 in assessed value for county taxes. |
|
Homestead Exemption 2 is for persons over the age of 65 whose adjusted gross income is less than $12000.00 annually. This exemption is for all state and County Taxes up to $5000.00 in assessed value. |
|
Homestead Exemption 3 is for the persons over the age of 65 or who are totally disabled. This exemption is from all property taxes, up to 160 acres including the homestead, if their taxable income is less than $7500.00 |
|
Homestead Exemption 4 is for persons over 65, regardless of income. This exemption is for the total assessed value of state taxes and up to $2000.00 of assessed value of County. |
At the time of initial filing of Homestead Exemptions 2, 3, or 4; you must present a copy of the latest income tax return in order to determine for which exemption you qualify

Exemptions should be applied for before December 31, of each year based upon status (owner occupied, age 65, or totally and permanently Disabled”) of property and claimed before October 1. In October, a reclaim form is mailed to the property owner who has qualified before, allowing the claim to be renewed by mail. |
