IMPORTANT NOTE - Homeowners 65 and older who have filed their homestead exemption will never see an increase in their property tax rates.

Residents 65 and over are eligible for an “over 65” exemption. If you have applied for and received the age 65 and older exemption on your homestead, by law, your school taxes cannot be raised above their frozen level. The amount of taxes you pay is determined by the tax amount at the time your taxes were frozen.
