Perry County senior property tax assessment freeze

The law authorizes a constitutional amendment that requires majority approval by voters before taking effect. The amendment freezes the assessed value used for property taxes for qualifying Perry County homeowners age 65 or older. Their single-family, owner-occupied home must have been their main residence for at least five years immediately before the first claim’s tax year. The freeze uses the assessed value from the year before the first claim. Claims begin October 1, 2027, using the October 1, 2026 value. Homeowners must apply in writing to the Perry County Revenue Commissioner between October 1 and December 31. The freeze continues while the home remains their main residence and they remain eligible for homestead and other legally authorized exemptions. Tax rates can still change. Later additions increase the base assessed value and remain subject to property tax.
