What is a Homeowners Principal Residence Affidavit?
New homeowners need to be aware that a Homeowners Principal Residence Affidavit must be filed with the Assessor if they intend to occupy their new home as their principal residence and want the exemption of 18 mills on their tax bills. You must own and occupy your home by May 1st in order to qualify for that year. You may print a Homeowners Principal Residence Form from the Residents: Form section of this site.
