Senior Property Tax Exemption

Information

This program was suspended from 2003 - 2006 by the General Assembly due to the fiscal condition of the State. However, this program was reauthorized by the State again in 2007.  The exemption will reduce the actual value of your residential property by 50 percent up to a maximum reduction of $100,000. The state pays the tax on the exempted value. Qualified individuals must file for exemption no later than July 15, 2008. Applications are available from your county assessor.

Please refer to the Senior Property Tax Exemption Brochure for more detailed information.

 Application Options

• Short Form – this is a simplified application form to be used if three questions can be answered “True” 

1. As of January 1 of this year (or the year of application), I am 65 years old.
2. I occupy the property to receive the exemption as my primary residence and have done so for at least ten consecutive years.
3.  I am the owner of record for at least ten consecutive years prior to January 1 of this year (or the year of application.) 

• Long Form – this is a more complicated form to be used by seniors that may still qualify even if the above three questions cannot be answered “True”.
