Never pay to file a property tax exemption
Applying for a homestead, senior, veteran, or disability exemption is always free through your County Assessor. You do not need a middleman, and no one can file it "faster" for a fee.
Be skeptical of official-looking letters offering to file your homestead exemption, "designate" your homestead, or send you a copy of your deed for $50–$200. These are private solicitations, not government notices. When in doubt, contact your County Assessor directly using the phone number on your tax bill.
