However, the exemption still applies if the surrounding property is separated from the home by public rights of way, such as roads. Other houses on the property that cannot be sold separately are also exempt. Real property outside of Nevada cannot be claimed as a primary or usual residence. Households that currently do not own a home, but own or are purchasing a lot on which they intend to build or are building a permanent home, receive the exemption for the lot and, if partially completed, for the home. 534.1 Temporarily Unoccupied Residence Exempt a home temporarily unoccupied because of employment, training for future employment, illness, casualty, or natural disaster, if the household intends to return. 534.2 Sale of a Homestead Count money remaining from the sale of a homestead as a resource. 535 EVALUATION OF INACCESSIBLE/UNAVAILABLE RESOURCES 535.1 Jointly Owned Resources The value of resources owned solely by a household member are used to determine eligibility. When resources are owned jointly, count only the portion available to the household member. ● When a resource can be sold or disposed of without another person’s signature, count the total equity value. ● When the household member’s share of a resource can be sold or disposed of without another person’s signature, count the total equity value of their share. ● If the household member provides proof they cannot dispose of their share of a resource without the other owner’s permission, the resource is counted only if the other owner gives their consent to the disposal or sale. This does not apply to real property unless it was obtained during a valid marriage and considered community property. All other types of real property holdings do not require the other owner’s approval to dispose of another owner’s portion of the property.
