Letter from attorney to opposing counsel requesting documentation concerning homestead exemption for change of venue motion.
Must not have a total household income over $38,600/year if applying in 2024, or $40,000 if applying in 2025, which includes the Ohio adjusted gross income of the owner and the owner's spouse.
Please Note: Household income includes the income of the applicant and the applicant's spouse. Social Security income is exempt and is not considered income when related to the Homestead Exemption program.
Ohio does not tax Social Security benefits. Ohio's income tax return starts with "federal adjusted gross income," which includes the taxable portion of your Social Security benefits, if any.
In addition, homeowners must have an Ohio modified adjusted gross income of $36,100 of less for tax year 2023. This income limit also increases each year for inflation. Homeowners who received the exemption before 2014 are not subject to the income limit.
Ohio's Homestead Exemption protects the first $25,000 of your home's value from taxation. For example, if your home is worth $100,000, you will be taxed as if the home were worth $75,000. On average, those who qualify for the exemption save $400 a year.
To apply for the senior and disabled persons homestead exemption, please complete form DTE 105A, Homestead Exemption Application for Senior Citizens, Disabled Persons, and Surviving Spouses.
The homestead exemption for senior and disabled persons allows eligible homeowners to exempt the first $28,000 of their home's auditor's appraised value from taxation. For example, an eligible owner of a home with an auditor's appraised value of $100,000 will be billed as if the home were valued at $72,000.
Line 4: Enter income from any other sources not included above (income reported on Form(s) 1099-MISC, self-employment income, business income). Do NOT include any Social Security benefits as they are not taxable in Ohio.
