A homeowner may make improvements to his/her primary residence, and be eligible to receive an exemption for the increase of the assessment due to the improvement. General maintenance is not assessed, and therefore not eligible for the exemption. Significant improvements include, but are not limited to room additions, inground pools, garages, and porches. This amount cannot exceed $25,000 in assessed value, and is granted for four years. No filing is necessary.
