homestead over 75k = -50k (does not apply to school board tax rate - only city and
county)
disabled nonvet = -500
blind = -500
if she was a totally disabled veteran, she would be 100% exempt /// also disabled
veterans under 100% but over 10% = -5000
if she were a widow that would be another - 500
remember that the "tax exemption" is the exemptions added up, the "taxable value of a
home" is the value minus all the exceptions, and the cost of property taxes is a different
calculation all together involving mills and a separate equation for city/county plus
school board (see next card)
