Assessor outlines state budget changes that could expand senior and disabled exemptions

Jun 17, 2026

The county assessor briefed supervisors on state budget changes that raise income limits for senior and low‑income disabled exemptions effective July 1, 2027 and noted the 100% disabled‑veteran exemption has returned to local option; the assessor will analyze the fiscal impact and return with local law options.

The full story

The county assessor told the board that the governor signed a budget changing income thresholds that will affect property tax exemptions: the assessor referenced an increase of the maximum from '584 to 75,000' (as spoken in the briefing) effective July 1, 2027, which would apply to the 2028 assessment roll. Staff said they will analyze how raising limits would change exemption amounts for people already receiving relief and prepare recommendations in July.
