Homestead Tax Credit
Any person who owns a dwelling and the land it sits on and who occupies said dwelling may qualify for a homestead tax credit. To be eligible, a homeowner must occupy the homestead any six months out of the year, but must reside there on July 1 and must claim Iowa as his residence for income tax purposes. This exemption is a reduction of the taxable value of the property amounting to a maximum $4,850 or the amount which does not allow the taxable value to be less than zero. Application is to be made on or before July 1 of the claim year. Disabled veterans are allowed to claim a homestead credit that would be equal to the entire amount of taxes levied on the homestead property. The exemption is not allowed if the combined income of the veteran and their spouse, if any, exceeds $35,000 in the prior income tax year. Income means taxable income for federal income tax purposes plus income from any political subdivision exempt from federal income tax. (refer to code of Iowa, Chapter 425)

EXPLANATION OF THE BILL
Current Law: Under current law, each family farm corporation and each partnership operating a family farm is entitled to one homestead occupied by a shareholder or partner who is residing on the land and is actively engaged in farming the land owned by the corporation or partnership.
Under certain special homestead provisions, agricultural property consisting of at least 40 acres shall be classified as an agricultural homestead if the owner is actively farming the agricultural property, the owner is a Minnesota resident, neither the owner nor the spouse of the owner claims another agricultural homestead in Minnesota, and the owner does not live farther than four townships or cities from the agricultural property.
Under this special provision, a family farm corporation or partnership is entitled to only one homestead per entity.
Under current law for agricultural homesteads, a class rate of 0.35 percent applies to the market value of land and buildings (excluding the house, garage and one acre) up to $115,000. A class rate of 0.8 percent applies to market value from $115,000 up to $600,000, and a class rate of 1.2 percent applies to value over $600,000

What is a \"homestead\" property?
A homestead property is a dwelling primarily used by an owner as his or her permanent home. The owner may be living temporarily at another location, but he or she must have the intention of returning to that home. No one can have more than one permanent home at any one time. Homestead properties do not include rental units, vacation homes, camps, or other homes in which the owner does not live on a permanent basis. In general, it is the address where the owner is registered to vote and has registered his or her driver\'s license.
The homestead property includes the land under the dwelling, as long as it is owned by the same person who owns the dwelling. The formal definition of property is the same as that used for determining residence status for the earned income tax

What is the farmstead exclusion?
The farmstead exclusion is a similar method of targeting real property tax relief to farmers. It lowers the taxes farmers pay on farm buildings (other than the farm house, which receives tax breaks through the homestead exclusion), as long as at least one farm owner lives on the farm. This reduction is in addition to other existing real property tax relief programs aimed at farms, such as Act 319 (often referred to as \"Clean and Green\"), which reduces the assessed value of farmland.
The farmstead exclusion allows farmers real property tax relief similar to that provided to homeowners by the homestead exclusion. By law, if a homestead exclusion is offered in a taxing jurisdiction (county, school district, city, borough, or township), the farmstead exclusion also must be offered. The farmstead exclusion is set by the governing body and cannot exceed the amount of the homestead exclusion

What is a \"farmstead\" property?
********A farmstead property includes *****all buildings and structures that are used primarily for agricultural purposes****** (such as housing animals or storing supplies, production, or machinery) on a farm of ten contiguous acres or more in size. The farmstead must be the permanent residence of at least one owner, as defined under the homestead definition. The farmstead exclusion would be applied to buildings and structures that are not already exempt from real property taxation under other laws. The requirement that an owner live on the farm means that farms owned and operated by absentee owners will not be eligible for the farmstead exclusion.
