Why These Deadlines Matter for 2025 Closings

The homestead exemption reduces a homeowner’s taxable property value, resulting in ongoing annual savings. Missing a deadline typically means those savings won't apply until the next tax cycle.

Homebuyers who closed with Aristocrat Title in 2025 can rest easy — the team has already filed the exemption on their behalf, eliminating the risk of missing important dates.

For those who closed elsewhere, or who simply want to double-check their filing status, Aristocrat Title encourages reviewing the deadlines and contacting your local County Recorder for verification.
