This study analyses the revenue effects of a senior homestead exemption on the City Schools of Decatur (CSD). Some of the policy goals the CSD had for the 2016 exemption were to check the city's rapidly growing school enrollment by keeping more seniors in their homes. The study did not find evidence that either goal was met and suggests several adjustments to the homestead exemption. The study was commissioned by the CSD.
