What is a homestead?
In general, a homestead refers to certain property, such as a home or family residence, as defined by constitution or statute to be exempt from seizure or other forced sale. The amount and nature of the property that qualifies for the homestead exemption depends on whether it is rural or urban in nature. Homesteads may also be categorized depending on the purposes for which such property is used into either residential homesteads or business homesteads.
