Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption

The Senior Citizen Exemption is available to all taxpayers residing in their own homes as of January 1st of the taxing year, who have reached or will reach the age of 65 at any time during that year. This exemption will further reduce the Equalized Assessed Value of the property. The current amount of this exemption in DuPage County is $3,500.

Homeowners should apply for this exemption at office. The form requires a proof of ownership (Warranty or Trustees Deed etc.) and a proof of age (Driver's License or Birth Certificate etc.) and must be signed and notarized.
