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. Generally
this Is anything acceptable lor
