Property Tax Programs for Senior Citizens and Military Veterans

Senior Citizens

This program exempts Fifty Percent (50%) of the first $200,000 from the actual value of the home for the portion of taxes payable by the homeowner. PLEASE NOTE that this will not apply against the current year’s taxes due. The Treasurer bills property taxes one year in arrears, therefore the exempt portion of property taxes will be on the property tax billing for the following year.

The exemption is available to Senior applicants who:

  • Are at least 65 years of age as of January 1 of the year of application,
  • Owned and occupied their home as the primary residence for at least 10 years as of January 1

This program is administered through the Douglas County Assessor’s office. The deadline to submit your application is July 15.
