How can this program help me?

The Homestead Exemption for Persons with Disabilities program offers a property tax exemption (tax break) if you have a disability. This benefit can lower the amount of property tax you pay. The exemption 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.
