Homestead exemption; revise provisions regarding surviving spouses and applications.

Summary

The bill changes how Mississippi handles homestead exemptions when a spouse dies. If the surviving spouse’s age or disability status is unknown and they haven’t filed a new claim, they are moved to the primary applicant spot and receive the lowest exemption tier. It also lets anyone who missed claiming an additional exemption file an amended application, with a small fee possible for mailed renewals.
