What it does
Exempts 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of a qualifying senior's primary residence.
Who qualifies
Owners 65 or older who have owned and lived in the home for at least 10 years; surviving spouses may qualify.
Confirm the home is your primary residence and that you owned and lived in it by the qualifying date your county uses.
Find your local office. Apply with your county assessor by July 15.
Gather proof: usually a deed or closing statement, a driver's license or state ID at the property address, and (for senior, disability or veteran relief) proof of age, disability rating or income.
