On Wednesday April 30, 2008 from 9:00 am till 3:00 pm we will be hosting a Senior Exemption day at which time we will have additional help from Will County to help assist senior in filling out the Senior Assessment Freeze &/or the Senior Citizen Exemption. In addition to seniors anyone needing help with a Disabled Person Exemption can also receive assistance.

The 2008 Senior Assessment Freeze forms will be mailed in on Friday March 28, 2008. Shortly after this our office will also have forms for those who do not receive them through the mail.

Starting with the 2007 assessment year more Illinois veterans and disabled persons will now be eligible for property tax relief as a result of legislation that was passed into law on October 17, 2007.  Public Act 95-0644 creates three new homestead exemptions for Illinois' disabled citizens and qualifying veterans.  The legislation also expands current homestead exemptions to provide property tax relief for qualifying Illinois homeowners and senior citizens. See Exemptions for more details.
