Brown County staff: assessment notices mailed and senior/disabled tax-freeze income limits increased
Summary
Staff announced that assessment notices are out and said the income limits for the senior and disabled property-tax freeze increased roughly $15,000 this year to about $55,000 for single households and $65,000 for multi-member households; filing deadline noted as April 1 at the Treasurer's Office.
County staff informed residents that assessment notices have been mailed and reminded qualifying taxpayers about revised income guidelines for the senior and disabled property-tax freeze. Staff said the income thresholds increased about $15,000 from last year, citing approximate qualifying incomes of roughly $55,000 for single-member households and $65,000 for multi-member households.
Staff explained the freeze rolls back assessment to the year a resident turned 65 or the year they became disabled if they qualify via disability. Officials encouraged eligible residents who were close to prior thresholds to check the new limits and file for the freeze if they qualify. A filing deadline was noted: "to file by April 1 at Treasurer's Office to take care of that," staff said.
No votes or policy changes were taken at the meeting; the commission accepted the announcement and moved on to other items.
