His taxes were about double what his neighbor's taxes were (comparable homes). Can I file for the exemption as soon as I buy the home, or do I have to wait until a certain date?

You should be able to but you needed to file by march 15 in most cases to get it this year.

Property taxes are COUNTY taxes, not state taxes. You need to find out the rules for your county. Do NOT assume you will be eligible for a homestead exemption. Even if the seller was, you may not be. Find out BEFORE you buy.

Access state government websites - look for property rights/responsiblities specifically for your state. Then under the state website, find your county website. There may be guidelines/forms you can process online.
Don't just write the owner's mistake off as bad judgement. Find out why specifically to insure there isn't anything you're not being told by the realtor.
Good luck...

I stated as this one into my RE legal professional and his first question replaced into: is this a Black family contributors bidding on a house in a White community? you do not element out the racial length on your question, so i could not answer. If the vendor is kicking out bona fide intense bids, then something fishy is going on. It sounds like the stew tale is a red herring for some type of discrimination. you need to get legal representation.
