What taxes are frozen with an 65and over or disabled homestead exemption?
A. When you receive a 65 and over or disabled homestead exemption, you also receive a “tax ceiling” for your school taxes. The school taxes on your home do not increase as long as you own and live in that home and no new construction is added. The school taxes are “frozen”. Effective 2007, the county, city and junior college district may also freeze taxes since they adopted a tax ceiling for either the 65 and over or disabled homestead exemption. If you already receive a 65 and over or disabled homestead exemption you do not need to do anything else to qualify since the resolution has passed.
