Homestead exemption, state by state

Ten states, because ten states are what we measured demand for before writing anything. Each page answers its question in the first block, cites the page the answer came from, and links the counties whose own rule differs from the state's.

• How does the Texas homestead exemption deadline work?
  Texas's homestead exemption deadline is April 30, but 1 of the 15 Texas counties on this site publish a different rule in their own words — so the county page, not the state date, is the one to act on.
• When is the Florida homestead exemption deadline?
  Florida's homestead exemption deadline is March 1, according to Florida Department of Revenue.
• When is the Georgia homestead exemption deadline?
  Georgia's homestead exemption deadline is April 1, but 4 of the 8 Georgia counties on this site publish a different rule in their own words — so the county page, not the state date, is the one to act on.
• When is the Louisiana homestead exemption deadline?
  We could not verify a statewide homestead exemption deadline for Louisiana; the 4 counties on this site each carry a deadline read from that office's own page instead.
• When is the Oklahoma homestead exemption deadline?
  Oklahoma's homestead exemption deadline is March 15, according to Oklahoma Tax Commission.
• When is the Illinois homestead exemption deadline?
  Illinois's homestead exemption deadline is No single statewide deadline — set locally by each county's Chief County Assessment Office (Cook County: Assessor's Office), according to Illinois Department of Revenue.
• What is the Michigan homestead exemption, and when is it due?
  Michigan's homestead exemption deadline is June 1 (full-year exemption); late filing through November 1 gets winter-tax-only exemption for that year, according to Michigan Department of Treasury.
• When is the Minnesota homestead deadline?
  Minnesota's homestead exemption deadline is December 31, according to Minnesota Department of Revenue.
• Who qualifies for the South Carolina homestead exemption?
  South Carolina's homestead exemption deadline is July 15, according to South Carolina Department of Revenue.
• How does the New York STAR exemption work now?
  New York's homestead exemption deadline is No fixed annual deadline for STAR credit registration — homeowners register once with NY State (a late registration is still accepted for up to 3 years after that year's income-tax filing deadline). The legacy, now-closed STAR exemption instead used each locality's 'taxable status date,' except NYC which allowed filing through March 15., according to New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.

Why only these ten

A page is a claim that somebody is asking the question. We measured search demand for these ten states before building, and the four states where demand did not reach the county level get a state page and no county matrix — the reason is written on each of those pages. Filling in the other forty from general knowledge would produce forty pages of the thing this project exists not to be.
