The Franklin County Auditor’s Office invites you to join Connecting Communities with the Homestead Exemption, a webinar taking place on February 25 at 11:30 a.m. This informational session is designed for service providers, community organizations, and community center staff who work directly with residents who may be eligible for the Homestead Exemption.

The Homestead Exemption is a statewide program that helps qualified senior citizens, permanently and totally disabled homeowners, and veterans who are 100% disabled due to service reduce their property tax burden. The exemption works by shielding a portion of the auditor’s appraised value of a home from taxation and is applied as a credit on property tax bills.

This session will provide an overview of eligibility requirements, key timelines, and what residents can expect throughout the application process. Attendees will also receive updates on relevant policy considerations and learn how community partners can help connect eligible residents to this important program.

The goal of this presentation is to ensure service providers have clear, practical information they can use when supporting their communities. Time will be reserved for discussion and shared learning among attendees.

We hope you will join us for this opportunity to strengthen partnerships and improve access for the residents we serve. Please register at the link here.
