Learn More About This Program

How can this program help me?

This program gives you a tax exemption (tax break) to help lower the portion of property tax you pay toward local school district taxes. If you qualify, you will get an exemption on part of the assessed (taxable) value of the home you own and live in. The assessed value is the dollar amount used to decide how much you will have to pay in property taxes.

How do I get help?

To apply for this program, visit the program website or contact your local tax assessor's office.
