1. Who may file an application?

You may file an application if you meet all qualifications for a personal exemption as of July 1st. You may also apply if you are the administrator/executor of an estate of a person that qualified as of July 1st.

2. Where and when must I file for an exemption?

Your application must be filed with the Board of Assessors by December 15th or 3 months after the actual tax bills are mailed for that fiscal year. The normal time frame for filing starts as of July 1st and ends three months after the actual tax bills are due. This deadline can't be extended for any reason.

Filing an application does not stay the collection of your taxes. To avoid the loss of rights or additional charges, you should pay the tax as assessed. If there is an overpayment due to the exemption, you will be issued a refund.
