March 15 last day to assess personal property

Woods County Assessor Renetta Benson would like to remind everyone that March 15 is the last day to assess farm equipment, business personal property and mobile homes, without penalty. Also, March 15 is the deadline to apply for homestead exemptions and additional exemptions for the 2018 tax year. One may also apply for an additional homestead exemption if the total gross household income from all sources was under $20,000.

One may apply for a valuation freeze on their homestead property if age 65 or older and if the gross household income from all sources was under $72,900. Sufficient proof of 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.
