Property Tax Exemption Filing

Deadline

The final filing date of exemption claims for the Annual Assessment Roll is February 15. As a result, exemption claims should be filed with the Assessor by February 15 of each year.

Late Filing

The laws regarding late filing of exemption claims have not changed:

  • Homeowners and veterans who might miss the February 15 filing deadline have until December 10 each year to file for an 80% exemption.
  • Organizations that might miss the February filing deadline have until the following December 31 to apply for a 90% exemption, but still may qualify for an 85% exemption if they file after the following lien date.
  • It should be noted by owners of historical aircraft or exhibition art that there are no provisions for the late filing for exemptions on those two forms of property.
