The New
Revised Homestead Exemption Program
Michael E. Kovack, Medina County Auditor,
continues to aggressively implement the Homestead Exemption
Act (House Bill 119) which expands the Homestead Exemption tax
reduction to all homeowners 65 years of age and older. There is no longer any income qualification.
Under the new law (2007), $25,000 of a home's
value will be sheltered from taxes. The tax cut will vary across
the county, but should amount to annual savings on average of
$300 to $400.
"I would encourage every property owner
who falls into the categories listed below to immediately contact
my office to take advantage of this program. The Homestead
Exemption is open to any Ohio homeowner who currently lives in
their primary residence as of January 1st and who:
Is at least 65 years old or
will reach age 65 during the current tax year;
or
Is certified totally and
permanently disabled as of January 1st of the
current tax year,
regardless of age; or
Is the surviving spouse of a
qualified homeowner, and who was at least 59 years old on
the date of their spouse's death.
