Sarpy County Assessor Dan Pittman is reminding property owners that the Nebraska Homestead Exemption Application, Form 458, must be filed with the Sarpy County Assessor's Office between February 2 and June 30, 2021.
The homestead exemption provides relief from property taxes by exempting all or a portion of the taxable value of the residence. The State of Nebraska reimburses counties and other governmental subdivisions for the property taxes lost due to homestead exemptions.
In Nebraska, a homestead exemption is available to the following groups of persons:
• Persons over the age of 65;
• Qualified disabled individuals; or
• Qualified disabled veterans and their widow(er)s.
Some categories are subject to household income limitations and residence valuation requirements. The income limitations are on a sliding scale.
Homestead exemption forms and information are available at revenue.nebraska.gov/PAD/homestead-exemption.
For more information on the homestead exemption program, please contact the Sarpy County Assessor’s Office at 402-593-2122 or [email protected].
