Homestead Exemptions by State: 20 States Read From Primary Sources, 2026

State-by-state homestead exemptions by state, every row read from the state's own statute or constitution and carrying its citation. Coverage: 21 jurisdictions in this file, of which 20 are at high confidence and 1 are marked medium and should be treated as provisional. A confidence column is included on every row; do not drop it. Why this is not 51 rows. The remaining jurisdictions are omitted because their primary text has not yet been read, not because they lack a rule. No figure in this dataset is inferred from a neighbouring state, from a uniform act, or from a secondary aggregator. The gaps are the method working. Regime warning. These are non-bankruptcy, state-law figures applying to ordinary judgment creditors. The federal bankruptcy exemption regime is a separate system and the two are routinely conflated.
