Real property tax exemptions and deferrals for certain residential or farm property. Authorizes local governing bodies to exempt, partially exempt, or defer the taxation of parcels of real property not to exceed 20 percent of the value of the parcel provided that the parcel is residential or farm property designed for continuous habitation and occupied as the primary dwelling of the individual owners.
