Why are my taxes higher than my neighbors when we have the exact same house?

The “Save Our Homes” (SOH) amendment prevents homestead property owners from being taxed out of their homes during a period when home sale prices are rapidly increasing. This is accomplished by limiting the amount your assessed value can increase. Accumulation of “non-taxed” assessed values can cause this disparity. Your neighbor has enjoyed the benefit of an increasing “capped” differential over time, whereas, you just purchased your home. Once you file for your homestead exemption, your assessed value will be subject to this same cap.
