*Every property owner that resides in their own property is due a
2.5% reduction on their property tax bill. Homeowners must make
application for this reduction. This is often taken care of at
time of transfer of real estate. To receive the two and one-half
percent (2 1/2 %) homestead tax reduction, you must own and occupy
your home as your principal place of residence (domicile) on
