It is time to apply for your annual property tax savings. The "Senior Freeze" application is due by Monday, April 21, 2025. You can file online today using the new online renewal application that saves you time.
What is the "Senior Freeze?"
The "Senior Freeze" Exemption offers significant savings for senior homeowners. To be eligible for this exemption you must be over 65 years of age and have a total household annual income of $65,000 or less in the 2023 calendar year. A "Senior Freeze" Exemption provides property tax savings by freezing the equalized assessed value (EAV) of an eligible property. This does not automatically freeze the amount of the tax bill, only the EAV remains at the fixed amount. Tax rates may change, resulting in a change on the tax bill. Applicants must apply annually.
If you are a new applicant or didn't apply for the "Senior Freeze" last year, use the filing below.
Please note that you will receive a paper application to apply in the coming weeks, but you can apply online now for faster processing and the ability to track your status.
