Over 65? Claim the Homestead Exemption

Remind your older clients about the homestead exemption to property tax. You may apply to the County Auditor's Office for the Homestead Exemption discount only for your legal residence if you are:

  • 65 years old on or before December 31 preceding the tax year in which you wish to claim the exemption;

  • totally and permanently disabled;

  • legally blind; or

  • at least 50 years of age when your spouse (who was eligible for the Homestead Exemption) died.

To find out more about the tax on real estate, contact the assessor in the county where the property is located
