2023 Applications must be submitted or postmarked by July 3^rd, 2023 to the Assessor’s office.  The exemption will be applied to the Fall of 2024 tax statement.  The credit and exemption will apply for future years without future filing as long as the claimant continues to qualify.  A new Homestead Credit and Exemption form would need to be filed when the owner moves to a different property.
