Comptroller’s Office Encourages Homeowners to Take Advantage of Homestead Exemptions

April 3, 2026 - One of the easiest ways a homeowner can lower his or her property tax bill is to file a homestead exemption. A homestead is generally the house and land used as the owner’s principal residence on Jan. 1 of the tax year.

David’s Daily Devotion for Apr. 3

April 3, 2026 - Good Morning!  It’s Friday, April 3, and we’ve come to the end of our series “The Road to Resurrection”.  We’ve come to the end of Holy Week.  We’ve come to Good Friday.

April 2, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, April 2.

Tonight I have the opportunity to do something I’ve never done before, but have always wanted to do - I’m going to a Jewish Seder. I’ve heard teachers teach about the Seder.

David’s Daily Devotion for Apr. 1

April 1, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, April 1.

We continue our week-long series “The Road to Resurrection “, as we follow the steps of Christ through Holy Week, the days that led to the Cross, the days that led to the Empty Tomb. Wednesday of that week is sometimes called “Silent Wednesday” because the Bible gives no details about the activities of Jesus on that day. But perhaps the lack of activity is the lesson.
