Voters over 65 Homestead Exemption
Residents 65 and over are eligible for an “over 65” exemption. If you have applied for and received the age 65 and older exemption on your homestead, by law, your school taxes cannot be raised above their frozen level. The amount of taxes you pay is determined by the tax amount at the time your taxes were frozen, unless you make significant improvements to the home, in which case the tax ceiling may go higher.
