Homestead applications due Jan. 2
The deadline to file for homestead status for property taxes paid in 2024 is Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024. Due to the county holiday schedule most county offices are closed Jan. 1 in observation of New Year's Day.
Applications can be sent by mail, and must be postmarked on or before Jan. 2, 2024. Applications can also be submitted in person to the County Assessor's office, located in the Plato Building.
Residents need to apply for homestead if:
- They’ve purchased a property in the past year and they, or a qualifying relative, occupy the property for homestead purposes on Dec. 31, 2023, or
- They’ve made a change such as marital status, ownership or address, or
- Their property is being used for homestead purposes on Dec. 31, 2023, and the property was previously classified as non-homestead.
Once a homestead designation has been granted, the Homestead Market Value Exclusion will be applied to property taxes payable in 2024.
