EXPLANATION OF AVAILABLE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS:

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION:
Homestead Exemption lowers your property tax bill on your home and can provide a property tax savings of $70 to $105 in Wash*ta County by exempting the first $1,000 of assessed value from taxation on your residential property. For the property tax savings to be in effect for 2026, you must file by March 15th, 2026

SENIOR VALUATION FREEZE:
Senior citizens (65 and Older) earning $77,900 or less are eligible for the Senior Valuation Freeze which can reduce your property tax bill over time. This will freeze the taxable, or assessed value (not property taxes), of your residential property. For the property tax savings to be in effect for 2026, you must file by March 15th, 2026. If you are currently benefiting from the SENIOR VALUATION FREEZE on your homesteaded property there is no need to reapply.

ADDITIONAL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION:
An additional homestead will deduct another $1,000 from the assessed value of your home. This exemption will save you an additional $70 to $105 in taxes. Regardless of age, if the annual gross household income from all sources, received by all persons occupying the same household is $30,000 OR LESS you qualify for the additional exemption. File in person with the County Assessor by March 15th of the year in which the exemption will begin. You must file it annually with the County Assessor by March 15th as long as your income is $30,000 OR LESS until you reach the age of 65.

100% DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS:
American military veterans who are 100% service-connected disabled may be eligible for a total exemption from any property taxes on their homestead property. This plan also allows the un-remarried surviving spouse to continue enjoying the property tax break for as long as they own the property. If you are a qualified 100% service connected disabled military veteran, have a family member or friend who might qualify, please have them call the Wash*ta County Assesors Office at (580) 832-2468.
