You could... but if it's in your neighborhood, other houses in the area having higher taxes for whatever reason could work against your favor.

But then again, taxation is theft so why encourage the government?

Taxes are based off the assessment which is based off sales price so what others are paying in your neighborhood doesn’t really work against you.

By abusing the homestead exemption they’re taking money away from the local government which funds resources you might use like firemen, roads, etc.
