The property is assessed and taxed as an other taxable property unless you apply for and get approval for homestead exemption status. The qualifying requirements vary from state to state, and some states (Virginia for example) have no homestead exemption at the present time.

If you move for reasons beyond your control without meeting the time requirements, you may qualify for a reduced exemption.
