*** HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION APPLICATION ***
The filing period for the Homestead Exemption Program for this year ended on June 6, 2016. You may apply next year starting on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
APPLICATION FOR OWNER-OCCUPANCY TAX REDUCTION ON OWNER-OCCUPIED HOME
To qualify for the program, a homeowner must:
-
Own and occupy the home as their primary place of residence as of January 1 of the year for which they apply; and
-
Be 65 years of age, or turn 65, by December 31 of the year for which they apply; or
Be totally and permanently disabled as of January 1 of the year for which they apply, as certified by a licensed physician or psychologist; or
Be the surviving spouse of a person who was receiving the homestead exemption at the time of death and where the surviving spouse was at least 59 years old on the date of death. -
Have a total income (for both the applicant and the applicant's spouse) that does not exceed the amount set by the law, which is adjusted annually for inflation. "Total income" is defined as the adjusted gross income for Ohio income tax purposes. The current maximum for the 2017 application period is to be determined.
Note: Homeowners who received a homestead exemption credit for tax year 2013 will not be subject to the income requirement even if they move to another Ohio residence. In other words, the grandfather status is "portable".
All homeowners who qualify for the homestead exemption will receive a flat $25,000 property tax exemption on the market value of their home. The exact amount of savings from the exemption will vary from community to community based on local tax rates.
If you are interested in filing a homestead exemption application, call our office at 330-675-2420 or visit our offices at 160 High St., Warren, Ohio. If you missed the 2015 deadline, you may still claim the credit for the missed tax year, but must wait until the 2016 application period to apply.
Those homeowners who already receive the homestead exemption do not need to reapply every year. However, if your circumstances change you must notify our office. A continuing homestead exemption application is sent each year to those homeowners who received the reduction for the preceding tax year. Please return this form only if there have been changes in eligibility status, e.g. you no longer own the home, no longer occupy it as your primary place of residence, or if your disability status has changed.
