How can this program help me?

This program offers you a property tax exemption (tax break) to help lower the amount of property taxes you have to pay on the home you live in. There are different types of homestead exemptions available for school taxes and school and county taxes. The exemption may reduce your home’s assessed (estimated) value. 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, contact your local tax assistance office.
