Pike County Revenue Commissioner: the Total Disability Homestead Exemption, Troy

The office's words. The Property page, under "Exemptions for 65 & Older, or Retired Due to Disability": "Taxpayers who are permanently and totally disabled are exempt from property taxes on their home and up to 160 acres of land. Income is not a factor for the disability exemption." "Proof of the taxpayer being 100% totally disabled may include the receipt of a pension or annuity due to disability from a private company or a state or federal governmental agency; or, the written certification of the taxpayer being retired because of total and permanent disability from two physicians licensed to practice medicine in Alabama." The page links a physician's affidavit of permanent or total disability. It does not say whether a VA disability rating letter is taken as proof, so ask the office. Every year. "If you are 65 years of age or disabled, you must claim one of the special homestead exemptions each year. Failure on the home owner's part to do so will result in the property being changed to Class II property and the owner losing his homestead exemption for the year involved." Property is assessed between October 1 and December 31. The rule behind it. The complete exemption for a person permanently and totally disabled is the State's (Code section 40-9-21; the Alabama entries). Where.
