Seniors Receiving the Senior Freeze Exemption
by George N. Reveliotis
By the time you have read this news letter, property owners who have reached the age of 65 or over should have received the Exemption Booklet. If you have not received it, please call my office at 312-239-6430 or contact us through our website as soon as possible. In order for the senior citizen freeze exemption to be applied on your second installment tax bill, the application must be submitted to the Assessor's Office by June at the latest. The senior freeze exemption is an important exemption because it freezes the property assessment to the level when the owner was 65 years of age. Please keep in mind that even though you might not have applied for the Senior Freeze Exemption for the last years, the law allows property owners to file a certificate of error from the 2003 tax year through the 2006 tax year.
Contact us to learn more about your potential for this exemption.
