Real Estate Tax Relief and Exemptions

Real Estate Tax Relief Eligibility

Certain qualified individuals are eligible for real estate tax relief or tax exemptions, including the elderly and disabled, emergency services providers, surviving spouses, and veterans. Please email the Commissioner of the Revenue for further details.

Due to the Privacy Act, the Commissioner of the Revenue is unable to discuss your application to anyone else other than the applicant(s), unless we are provided a copy of a filed power of attorney or appointment of representative.
