New Homestead Credit & Exemption Application
ARE YOU 65 OR OLDER?
**NEW HOMESTEAD CREDIT & EXEMPTION APPLICATION **
Fayette County Residents 65 years and older, as of January 1, 2023, can now apply for an exemption along with their traditional Homestead Credit amount for qualified claimants who own the home they live in.
The application is available at the Assessor’s office, in the Fayette County Courthouse, or through the Fayette County website on the Assessor page. Any questions please call Fayette County Assessor’s Office at 563-422-3397.
2023 Applications must be submitted or postmarked by July 3rd, 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.
