Would an extended stay in a convalescent hospital jeopardize eligibility for the Homeowners Exemption?
A. No. The exemption is allowed if the owner is expected to return. However, according to the State Board of Equalization, an absence of more than one year raises considerable doubt that the owner is expected to return, and in that case the eligibility may be terminated.
