family member or friend who would
otherwise be compelled to live in an
institution. .
NT That types of home improve-
ments qualify? Any addition,
improvement or alteration specifically
related to the needs of the disabled or
senior resident qualifies for this new
exemption. These may include such
features as special bathroom modifications
or additions to an existing home. (Please
note: general repairs and maintenance do
not increase assessment anyway).
Does the exemption apply to
changes underway or completed
before the program was
announced? Only alterations started
after May 15, 1984 when the program
was announced will qualify for the
property tax exemption once the work
has been completed. -
How long will the exemption
apply? The tax exemption
continues as long as the senior or
disabled person uses the property as
their principal residence.
How do you receive this new
property tax exemption? The first
step is to call your local Assessment
Office at the number listed below. To
avoid any possible disappointment,
please contact us before finalizing your
plans. We look forward to discussing the
program in greater detail.
