&lt;p&gt;$10,000 exemption for all who qualify.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;If you answer yes to the following questions, you may receive the Homestead Exemption:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;Are you a resident of the State of Maine?&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;Have you owned homestead property in the State of Maine for at least 12 months prior to April 1, 2011?&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;Do you declare that home as your permanent place of residency?&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;If you answer yes to all of these questions, you may be entitled to a property tax reduction, regardless of your income.&amp;nbsp; If you are already receiving the Homestead Exemption in Orono, there is no need to reapply.
