- |
$ 200,000 |
County maximum exemption |
- |
$ 97,550 |
County maximum value |
- |
$ 195,100 |
Over 65 applicant qualifies for 100% based on the income criteria |
| |
200,000 minus 195,100 |
= |
4,900 over the maximum,
so a 10% reduction |
| 97,550 times 0.10 (10%) |
= |
9,755 reduction |
| 97,550 minus 9,755 |
= |
87,795 reduced exemption amount |
| 87,795 times 1.00 (100%) |
= |
87,795 homestead exemption

= |
15,000 over the maximum,
so a 60% reduction |
| 50,000 times 0.60 (60%) |
= |
30,000 reduction |
| 50,000 minus 30,000 |
= |
20,000 reduced exemption amount |
| 20,000 times 0.40 (40%) |
= |
