In addition, the Governor’s Tax Credit is automatically applied to homestead property for an additional reduction up to $229.04, depending on your tax district and other exemptions you receive. Additional exemptions are available to those who meet legal criteria. You may apply for exemptions year-round with the Tax Commissioner’s Office, however your application must be received or postmarked by March 1 to receive the exemption for that tax year. Applications not filed by the deadline constitute a waiver of the exemption for that year. All exemptions must be applied for by mail or in person.
