    You will need to check with a local property attorney and/or the tax office, Normally yes while there are some homestead exemptions for owners and for the elderly, this normally merely lowers the tax, not do away with it, But you may go down to the tax office and discuss this with the clerk there.

    In some places if other people are on the deed, that do not live in the home, it can mess up the homestead exemption if they don't live in the house, Your real estate attorney that did the transfer to add them should have advised you of that.

    No, you will need to see if there are any non profits in your area doing any remodel or any city ( government) spoinsered programs.
