How can this program help me?
The Homeowners’ Exemption program offers a tax exemption (tax break) that may help reduce the amount of property tax you pay. This benefit may lower your home’s assessed (estimated) value, up to a maximum set by the program. 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 find out how to apply for the program, please contact your local tax assistance office.
