The benefit is available to homeowners who, as of Jan. 1 of the current tax year, are at least 65 years old or are totally and permanently disabled; who live on the property; and whose income for the previous year was $37,900 or less. The transcript noted that the income limit applies whether applicants are married or single. Multiple owners who are unmarried must submit separate applications.
Applicants should complete the AB-9 application form and include required supporting documents such as official proof of income or a certificate of disability from a doctor when submitting an application. Union County provided its website, unioncountync.gov, and the county telephone number (704) 283-3746 for additional information and assistance with applications.
The announcement did not specify application deadlines or whether the county requires in-person filing; those details were described only as "not specified" in the transcript. The county did not reference a specific state statute or local ordinance in the recorded remarks.
