Ohio County Assessor

Persons who are 65 years of age or older, or who are permanently and totally disabled, are entitled to an exemption from property taxes on the first $20,000.00 of assessed value on their owner-occupied residence. (If your owner occupied property is assessed at $60,000.00 and you qualify for Homestead Exemption you are assessed at $40,000.00 ($60,000.00 - $20,000.00 = $40,000.00.) Persons requesting the Homestead Exemption must apply to the Ohio County Assessor’s office between July 1 and December 1.
