Homestead Exemption

The Homestead Exemption is available to homeowners who are 65 years or older or totally disabled under the age of 65. Surviving spouse of a qualified homeowner who was at least 59 years old on the date of their spouse’s death is also eligible. You must be the owner of the home or manufactured home and it must be your primary residence on January 1 for the tax year you apply.

With the passage of House Bill 119 on June 27, 2007 the State Legislature has expanded the homestead relief program, a reduction in property taxes, for senior citizens. Under the new program every senior citizen or permanently disabled homeowner will receive an exemption of $25,000 on the market value of their home from property taxes, regardless of their income.

Applicants can apply for Homestead Exemption in the year they turn 65 as long as they own and occupy the house as of January 1 of the year they file.

PLEASE NOTE: Enrollment dates for new 2008 applicants and 2007 late filers will be January 7, 2008 thru June 2, 2008.

New forms will be available online January 2, 2008
