More Tax Time For the Elderly
The county treasurer and township assessors report a surge in senior citizen exemption requests about 500 daily. An estimated 20 000 to 30 000 residents may receive a 1 500 exemption on home value, affecting 1971 tax revenues by as much as 5 million or more. The exemption reduces property taxes by up to 90 dollars per qualifying home under a 6 per 100 valuation formula. About 30 percent of county revenue from personal property taxes would be removed, costing 11 million for 1969, with another 2 million lost to homestead exemptions. Exemptions require notarized forms with proof of age.
