Alva Review-Courier -

Woods County Assessor Renetta Benson would like to remind everyone that March 15 is the last day to assess farm equipment, business personal property, trailers and mobile homes, without penalty. Also, March 15 is the deadline to apply for homestead exemptions and additional exemptions for the 2021 tax year. A person may also apply for an additional homestead exemption if the total gross household income, from all sources, was under $20,000.

A person may apply for a valuation freeze on their homestead property if age 65 or older and if the total gross household income, from all sources, was under $84,000. Sufficient proof of gross income MUST accompany each application to substantiate the validity of the application.

Finally, any 100 percent disabled veteran, who has not already done so, must bring their VA letter to the office and fill out the proper paperwork by March 15.
