If you purchased property that is your permanent residence in calendar year 2024 (or before), you may file for the 2025 Homestead Exemption through March 1, 2025. This exemption will be reflected on your Notice of Proposed Property Taxes we send out in mid-August 2025.
To be eligible for SCHE, you must be 65 or older, earn no more than $58,399 for the last calendar year, and the property must be your primary residence. The exemption must be renewed every two years. Learn more and get answers to frequently asked questions.
Exemption applications must be filed with your local assessor's office. See our Municipal Profiles for your local assessor's mailing address. Do not file any exemption applications with the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance or with the Office of Real Property Tax Services.
As we've previously reported, there have been recent updates to the income requirements for Senior Citizens and Disability exemptions. The 2021 household income threshold for homeowners 65 and over with limited income and a disability, including gross social security earnings, has now increased to $58,399 or less.
To qualify for an exemption that begins on July 1, you must be 65 or older by the following December 31. If you co-own your property with a spouse or sibling, only one of you needs to be 65 or older. For other co-ownerships such as a parent and children, all owners must be 65 or older.
