Deductions work by reducing the amount of assessed value a taxpayer pays on a given parcel of property. Taxpayers do not need to reapply for deductions annually. Reapplication should only occur if the property is sold or the title is changed.
Deductions applied for before the annual deadlines will be applied to the next year’s tax bill. For example, a homeowner who completes files the application on or before January 15, 2025, will see the deduction applied to their 2024 pay 2025 tax bill.
