Eligibility at a Glance for the 2026 Tax Year
An applicant for the senior exemption must have been born on or before January 1, 1961 and owned and occupied their home as their primary residence continuously since January 1, 2016 (or earlier).
An applicant for the veteran with a disability exemption must have owned and occupied their home as their primary residence as of January 1, 2026 (or earlier). There is no age requirement for veterans, but you must have the required VA approved disability rating.

General Information
A property tax exemption is available to qualifying senior citizens, qualifying veterans with a service connected disability and qualifying surviving spouses of senior citizens and veterans with a disability. For those that qualify and apply 50 percent of the first $200,000 of actual value of the qualified applicant’s primary residence is exempted.
A property tax classification is available in 2025 and 2026 for qualifying senior citizens who received the senior exemption in 2020 or later, but are no longer eligible for that program. The classification offers similar tax relief benefits as the senior exemption program.
