Senior Citizens Told of Changes In Exemption Law Persons planning to apply for reduced property tavea under the senior clllens homestead exemption law are advised by County Assessor Rod Thomson that the 15 State legislature made significant change In the law and that these should he clearly undcndoovl before appli cation Is made. One of the most lmiortant U the substitution of the term, "household Income of the la paver," for the former term, 'to tal gross receipts." "Household Income I defined a the total Income received by the taxpnver and all other persona Included in the household. The old law required only that the gross In come of the applicant had to be less than S2,:X) a year. I'nder the new law. "Income" means the sum of "adjusted gros Income," as defined In the state's personal Income ta law, plus the gross amount oi anv otherwise exempt pension texcept the taxpayer's contribu tion to the pension), plus so cial security payments, plus welfare payments, plus nontax- j able Interest received from the federal government, and minus gifts or Income In kind up to 1300 in value and minus the value of surplus food and oth er relief In kind given to the taxpayer. The exemption from taxation is a percentage of the first $10,000 of true cash value of the taxpayer's homestead at the percentage rates, based on age as found In the prior law (63 to 6S, 10: 9 to 71. XT: 72 to 74. 50: 75 to 77. 70: 78 to 79. 90: 80 and over. 100). This reduction in value will mean a proportionate reduction in the total tax which will be shown on the tax statement re ceived next fall. The new law also provides that an applicant shall file his claim for exemption In dupli cate with the county assessor, and that the assessor shall transmit one copy to the State Tax Commission which, alter an audit not later than July 31. shall notify the assessor as to any claim where the household income appears too great to per mlt the exemption. Almost anyone can be a mem ber of the applicant's household but the "household Income" will be the total Income received by all such persons during the preceding calendar year. All ap olicants are required to bring income records for the 1965 year to the assessor's office, where forms for filing are available April 1 continues to be the deadline for filing claims, the assessor said. He emphasized that no exemption can be grant ed unless the taxpayer files each year. When filing for the first time, an applicant must brine proof of ace.
