We got our home property tax bill this past week, the total home property taxes we owe for the year...… just $2.70
Last year it was around $400.00 and the difference this year is because I turned 65 last December and qualified for the Homestead Exemption !
From the web site -
"The Homestead Exemption is a complete exemption of taxes on the first $50,000 in Fair Market Value of your Legal Residence for homeowners over age 65, totally and permanently disabled, or legally blind."

If you live in South Carolina (or know someone who does) check out the above web site to see if you or them qualify and if so how to apply.
If you live in another state do a search to see if your state has a similar program !
