4410 Home and Lot SNAP Manual 10/01/91 The home and lot is the household’s residence and any surrounding property not separated from the residence by intervening property owned by others. Rights-of-way, such as roads that run through the property surrounding the home, do not affect the exemption. Other structures on the homestead will be evaluated to determine if they can be excluded as described here. If the other structure is a house (or mobile home) that is habitable (has indoor plumbing facilities, running water and is livable), then the house (not the land on which it sits) will be counted as a resource provided it is not income producing. If the utility company has turned off the water, the house will be considered as having “running water.”
