Voila! You're a money-saving homeowner.

As a new homeowner, expenses add up fast and your bank account dwindles faster. Surprisingly, there is at least one way you can save a little money. Our real estate agent filled us in on a not-so-secret tax credit - the Homestead Credit - available in Polk County. It's really simple to get and will save us about $175 on our property taxes every year from here on out. All you have to do is head down to the Polk County building at 111 Court Avenue in Des Moines and look for this door (which is on the main floor on the left wall) to Room 195. It even says on the sign "Homestead Exemptions." A nice lady will ask your name and address (she didn't even ask for ID), print you off a paper to sign stating you live there and show you how much you'll save on your property taxes.
Voila! You're a money-saving homeowner.
