FAQs
Who is considered the owner?
Typically, a person whose name appears on the deed, a purchaser under a real estate contract, a person owning residential property, or a controlling person under a revocable trust.
How much does the Homestead Waiver reduce my taxes?
The tax exemption is based on a $25,000 reduction in the estimated “actual value” of the home, based on your district’s tax rate. It would typically result in savings of $250 to $400 a year in Auglaize County ($125 to $200 for half).
How do I apply for the Homestead Waiver?
For applicants aged 65 and over and for applicants with a disability, you must submit a Homestead Exemption Application (Form #DTE105A). For applicants with “disability” only, you must also submit a “Disability Certificate” (DTE Form #105E).
How can I prove my age?
Proper identification may be required at the discretion of the county auditor. Training: Providing false information in this app would be considered perjury and subject to criminal prosecution. In addition, you would be excluded from the program for three years and would be required to repay any wrongfully claimed benefits plus interest on wrongfully earned benefits.
Do I have to reapply every year?
Once you qualify for the exemption, you will receive a county auditor form each year. You only need to submit this form if there is a change in the owner’s claim status or ownership of the property.
