In order for a married couple to qualify for a $75,000 homestead exemption, which of the following must be true?

  1. They must have no dependents

  2. They must reside together

  3. They must own the property jointly

  4. They must be married for at least 10 years

The correct answer is: They must reside together

To qualify for a homestead exemption as a married couple, they must both reside together in the property. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not focus on the main requirement of living in the property together. Having no dependents or owning the property jointly can be relevant factors, but ultimately, the couple must reside together to qualify for the exemption. The length of the marriage is also not a determining factor in this case.
