Senior Citizen Assessment Freeze

This Assessment Freeze is for qualified seniors with a total household income of $50,000 or less in the previous calendar year. This freeze is applied to the Equalized Assessed Value of the year in which the senior turns 65. Applicant must occupy the property as their principal residence and be liable for paying the taxes. The Freeze is applied to the Assessment only, not the taxes. Taxes may increase or decrease depending upon the local tax rates. The Freeze is only on existing improvements and land. If new improvements are made to the property, this may increase your "frozen" assessed value.

An application and affidavit of income must be completed and filed each year with the County Supervisor of Assessments office. Applications are mailed from the County every year in March. If you would like any assistance in completing the application, contact our office, please bring you prior year's income tax records with you to our office.
