Your new 2008 PTAX340 form (2008 Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze) should have been mailed to you last month if you have had the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze in the past.  If this will be your first year applying for the exemption we have the new forms in our office.  

In order for you to fill out your assessment freeze forms you will need to have your IRS 1040 and your Social Security 1099 with you.  If you do not fill out a tax return you will need to bring in any income that you have received during 2007 and your Social Security 1099 form.  For those people not collecting Social Security you will need to bring in any pension or other income that you received during 2007.  Remember, that the exemption is for those seniors, sixty-five and older who have a total household income not in excess of $55,000.  For more information on this exemption or any other assessment related questions, please feel free to call our office.

Sincerely,

John Randall

Assessor
