Summary

Staff said Arlington’s real estate tax relief program offers exemptions or deferrals for homeowners 65+ and permanently disabled residents who meet income and asset limits; roughly 850 homeowners apply annually, saving the community about $5.5 million in assessed tax relief each year.

Nicole described the county’s real estate tax relief program for qualifying homeowners — those 65 and older or totally/permanently disabled who meet income and asset limits under local code. She said the county typically processes a little over 850 applications annually and that program benefits translate to more than $5.5 million in tax relief returned to vulnerable homeowners each year.

The county processes eligibility through its Housing Assistance Bureau and coordinates with the Treasurer’s Office to manage exemptions and deferrals. Nicole said staff will continue to provide direct assistance and outreach to eligible homeowners as other program changes move through the FY27 budget process.
