Homestead Exemption Program
Overview
A recent change in Ohio law, which eliminates the income requirements, has broadened the qualifications for senior citizens to enroll in the homestead exemption that offers a break in property taxes.
Filing Period
The filing period for 2013 is January 7 – June 3.
Enrollment
If you are a senior citizen or disabled person and meet the following criteria, you are encouraged to enroll in the homestead program:
- Applicants who are 65 or older, or totally and permanently disabled. Please note, it does not matter what date you turn 65, as long as you turn 65 some time during the year.
- If disabled, the applicant is required to have their physician complete the certificate of disability form or submit a certificate from a state or federal agency.
- Applicants must own and occupy their home or mobile home or have ownership interest in it (i.e. land contract, lease purchase), as of January 1 of the application year.
Please call our office at (419) 213-4406 for additional information about the program.
