If I temporarily move away, may I continue to receive the residence homestead exemption on my home?

If you temporarily move away from your home, you may continue to receive the exemption if:

  • You do not establish a homestead residence elsewhere.
  • You intend to return to the home and
  • You are away less than two (2) years.

If you are active in the military service and serving outside the United States or live in a facility providing services related to health, infirmity or aging, you may continue to receive the exemptions if you do not occupy the residence and you intend to return to it.
