Application for Local Option Disaster Abatements and Credits
By signing below, I certify, to the best of my knowledge, the above statements are true and correct.
(Rev. 11/13)
If your property has been damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster or other type of accident, you may be eligible to receive some property tax relief on this
year’s and next year’s property taxes. The type of tax relief you receive will depend on whether your property is homesteaded, whether it is located within a
declared disaster or emergency area, the amount of damage sustained, and a number of other factors. If an assessor has not already reassessed your property,
you should contact your county assessor’s ofce and request that an assessor view the damage for the purpose of receiving disaster relief.
