Turning 65? File for your Senior Homestead Exemption

SENIOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION

• Have lived on the property on or before January 1st of the tax year.
• Have reached age 65 during the tax year.

To apply for the senior homestead exemption you need to visit the Fremont Township Assessor’s office. You will need to bring proof of age when you apply.

If the property is held in trust, you will also need a copy of the trust agreement indicating the beneficiary and signature page.
