Senior Tax Work-off Eligibility

Ownership

For the purpose of eligibility, the Taxpayer is considered an owner if the deed is in their name or, if the property is subject to a trust, the Taxpayer must have legal title, (i.e., be one of the trustees) to the property. When there is a question about this issue, the Board of Assessors will make a final determination.

Eligibility

• Taxpayer must be over 60 years of age
• Taxpayer must own or be a trustee of the property as of January 1 of the applicable assessment year
• Taxpayer must have owned and resided at the property for at least 12 months prior to submitting the application
• Taxpayer must continue to reside at the property through November 30th of the year in which he/she participates in the program
• Only one qualifying owner of the parcel may earn an abatement under this program per fiscal year. If a selected owner cannot fulfill the commitment for all hours, another owner of the same property may complete the program if he/she meets eligibility criteria and meets the requirements of the position.
