The deadline for filing for the homestead exemption this year is Monday, June 6.<\/p>\n
The exemption provides a real estate tax reduction for Ohioans who are 65 years old or disabled. Those eligible must own and occupy their home as their principal place of residence as of January 1 of the year being applied for. A life estate is a qualified ownership.<\/p>\n
Applications can be made for Van Wert County residences through the County Auditor\u2019s Office, Room 203 in the Court House.<\/p>\n
For more information on the program, call 419.238.0843.<\/p>\n
