Many are well aware of the Homestead Exemption that allows homeowners over 65 to receive a reduction in their property taxes. In this link and below appears detailed information on this discount and how to apply from the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Officer’s website. However, it is important to note that after January 1, 2014 there is now a new income requirement on the books that homeowners making more than $30, 000 will no longer qualify. See here for more details on this new change from a state-wide perspective. Ask your accountant for details, but it appears to this author that still one can apply this year and circumvent this income requirement. Applications are being accepted through the first Monday in June.
