Property tax is a type of tax levied on real estate. It is typically assessed based on the value of the property, and the amount of tax owed is calculated as a percentage of that value. Property taxes are used to fund local government services, such as schools, roads, and parks.
There are a number of ways to avoid property tax. One way is to claim a homestead exemption. A homestead exemption is a tax break that allows homeowners to exempt a certain amount of the value of their home from property taxes. To qualify for a homestead exemption, you must own and occupy the home as your primary residence.
