What is a "Standard Deduction" and how do I apply?

Answer
The Standard deduction is a part of the Homestead deduction and is given automatically when you apply for the Homestead. The Standard deduction subtracts up to $45,000 from the value of your residential property and you are then taxed on the remaining amount. Properties valued at less than $90,000 receive half of their assessed value as the standard deduction.
Note: This deduction amount is subject to change. Please call the Auditor's office for the latest rate.
