The deadline for applying for homeowner property tax savings is only days away, but when is the date, and are you eligible?
This Monday will mark the last day for homeowners to apply for the tax-exemption. Exemptions are savings that contribute to lowering a homeowner’s property tax bill. The most common is the Homeowner Exemption, which saves homeowners hundreds of dollars on their property tax bills annually.
