** Deadline for Property Tax Relief Applications: June 1st
------------------------------------------------------------
Soaring property values and real estate taxes are posing a challenge for many North Carolinians. There is help! North Carolina offers property tax relief to low-income elderly, disabled, and disabled veterans. Qualifying owners may receive an exclusion of either $25,000 or 50% the taxable value of their residence (whichever is greater).

Applicants need to mee t these requirements:
1. The applicant's name must be on the deed or title to the residence.
2. The residence must be the applicant's primary residence.
3. The applicant must be a North Carolina resident.
4. The applicant must be at least 65 years of age or totally and permanently disabled. Total and permanent disability is a disability that substantially hinders a person from obtaining gainful employment.
5. If claiming disability, the applicant must provide proof of the disability in the form of a certificate from a physician licensed to practice medicine in North Carolina or governmental agency authorized to determine qualification for disability benefits.
6. Meet the combined spousal income eligibility limit*, whether or not both spouses are on the title.

*Annual Income Eligibility Limit is set every year by the NC Department of Revenue. The limit for 2022 is $31,900 for income received from all sources during the prior calendar year. This limit establishes the ceiling for the Low-Income Homestead Exclusion (option 1 above). It further establishes the ceiling for the Circuit Breaker deferral of taxes where inco me cannot exceed 150% ($47,250 for 2022 tax year) of this limit. Find more info here ([link removed]) .
