Tax Relief Programs
These tax relief programs are available to anyone over the age of 65, or who

(including mobile homes) for which relief is applied.
Tax relief ranges from 40% to 100%, depending on the total household income.
The eligibility criteria are as follows.

preceding the taxable year.

- Repeat applicants must apply on or before March 1 annually.
