As is customary, The Peters Company has alerted all of our past clients who have purchased in the last year about the need to file for the homestead exemption.  This tax break is exclusive to homeowners claiming a home as their primary residence, and the savings can be significant.  Here’s a rundown for easy filing courtesy of Leigh Clack at Neel & Robinson:

**Homeowners may need to provide their Warranty Deed book and page, proof of residence, social security numbers, driver’s license and car tag info.
