Seniors are entitled to a homestead property tax credit equal to up to 100% of the amount their property taxes exceed 3.5% of their income, up to $1,200.

This exemption is available to a single homeowner age 65 or older, or a couple filing a joint petition, if either or both are age 65 or over. You may not double the exemption amount if you are married and filing jointly.

Each state — and even each county — can make its own rules about who qualifies for a homestead exemption and how much it is. In most cases, people with “permanent and total disability”, veterans, seniors (people 65 and older) and the surviving spouses of veterans can qualify if they have limited income.

Homeowners' Exemption is a statutory tax provision, which provides a homeowner a $7,000 reduction off the taxable value on their primary residence. With an approximate 1% property tax rate, the exemption provides roughly a $70 annual saving off your property taxes.

In order to apply, you must complete and submit the necessary application within three years of the date you buy your replacement property. Along with the application, you must also provide valid identification (e.g. drivers license, passport, birth certificate. Etc.) for age verification.
