Additional Homestead Exemption

You may qualify for an additional $1,000 exemption by the County Assessor if the following conditions exist:

• If your gross household income from all sources (except gifts) is $30,000 or less.

• Property must be a valid homestead property with proper evidence of a homestead or an application. 

• Apply in person in the Assessor's office between January 1st and March 15th. Applications will not be accepted after March 15th, with the exception of properties that receive a Change of Valuation Notice. Those property owners will receive an additional 30 days from the date on the Change of Valuation Notice to file. Bring proof of all household income with you such as W-2s, 1099s or a copy of your most recent federal income tax return. Because of the limited time frame to apply, having income taxes done before is not required. Our office just needs the W-2s and 1099s.
