Homestead exemption deadlines, county by county
45 counties across 5 states. Every deadline here was read from that county's own page, not copied down from the state rule — which is why the "how it is set" column has three different answers in it. Read 2026-08-04.

What this table does not cover
Five states, and inside them the counties with the largest populations. It is not every county in the United States and it is not going to be: a matrix built to fill a map rather than to answer a question is the thing search engines and readers both learn to ignore. Where we extend it next depends on which of these pages people actually reach.
