Homeowners Tax Relief Grant

The Homeowners Tax Relief Grant authorized for the first time by the Governor and the General Assembly in 1999, provides tax relief credit in an amount up to $2000 in assessed value for all homeowners who are receiving one of the normal homestead exemptions. This tax relief credit has increased to the equivalent of a $8,000 homestead exemption. This relief is shown on the property tax bill for State, County and County school purposes as a credit against taxes that otherwise would have been due.
