Portability Homeowners can transfer the difference between the assessed and market values from their previous homestead property to a new homestead property. Non-Homestead Cap This cap limits increases in the annual assessment of non-homestead properties to 10%. Granny Flat Homesteaded property owners can apply for an assessment reduction after adding living quarters for a parent or grandparent.
