To qualify for an annual reduction in property taxes under homestead law, the property must be occupied by whom?

Tenant
Owner
Family member
Investor

The correct answer is: Owner

To qualify for an annual reduction in property taxes under homestead law, it is essential that the property is occupied by the owner. Homestead laws are designed to provide certain protections and benefits to individuals who reside in their primary residence. This means that the owner must be living in the property as their home to qualify for the tax reduction. Occupancy by the owner ensures that the benefits of the law are directed towards those who are actively using the property as their main residence, rather than allowing benefit to be extended to non-owners or investors who may not reside in the property. Occupying the property as one's primary residence is a key requirement for the application of homestead tax exemptions. This promotes homeownership and encourages individuals to maintain and invest in their properties, thus fostering community stability. In this context, tenants, family members, or investors do not meet the criteria for the homestead exemption, as they do not have ownership and may not reside in the property as their primary dwelling.
