Fayette County seniors gain home assessment freeze

The law authorizes a home tax assessment freeze in Fayette County, subject to majority approval by voters voting on the amendment. Homeowners must be at least 65 and own a home classified as single-family, owner-occupied property. It must be their main home for at least five years immediately before the tax year of their first claim. The freeze uses the assessed value from the year before the first claim and continues while it remains their main home. Written claims go to the Fayette County Revenue Commissioner from October 1 through December 31, beginning October 1, 2027. The freeze does not freeze the tax bill: tax rate changes still apply. Later additions increase the assessed value and are taxed on that increase. Homeowners can still claim the homestead exemption and other exemptions allowed by law.
