Kentucky Homestead Exemption for Property Owners

Kentucky’s Homestead Exemption for Property Owners

Kentucky’s Constitution allows property owners who are 65 or older to receive the Homestead Exemption on their primary residence. If you are eligible to receive the Homestead Exemption, the exemption amount is subtracted from your property’s assessed value, reducing your property tax liability.

The Homestead Exemption for 2017-2018 is $37,600

To qualify for the Homestead Exemption a property owner must:

• Be 65 years or older
• Own and Occupy the property as your primary residence prior to January 1st

Only one exemption (Homestead or Disability) is allowed per household. Once approved for the Homestead Exemption, you are not required to reapply annually. You are eligible for the Homestead Exemption on residential or commercial property as long as you own and occupy the property as your primary residence and meet all other qualifying criteria. If you move, it is your responsibility to notify the county tax assessor’s office and reapply for the exemption on your new residence.
