Homestead Exemptions

 

A homestead exemption provides relief from property taxes by exempting all or a portion of the valuation of the homestead from taxation.  The State of Nebraska reimburses the counties and other governmental subdivisions for the taxes lost due to homestead exemptions.

 

A homestead exemption is available to three groups of people:

 

Group A:            People Over Age 65;

Group B:            Certain Disabled Individuals; or

Group C:            Certain Disabled Veterans and Their Widow(er)s

 

Application and income statement forms are available in the County Assessor's Office after April 1 and due on or before June 30 each year.
