Athens County Treasurer's official FAQ says homestead/owner-occupancy applications are filed between the first Monday in January and the first Monday in June; for 2026, file DTE 105A by the first Monday in June 2026.
Senior relief
Ohio Homestead Exemption (DTE 105A): qualifying homeowners age 65 or older, permanently and totally disabled, or an eligible surviving spouse may receive the exemption on an owner-occupied principal residence. For 2026 applications, the current Ohio income threshold for new applicants is $41,000 Ohio adjusted gross income; county filing instructions and documentation requirements apply. Athens County's official homestead information also covers permanently/totally disabled veterans and surviving spouses; DTE 105A is required.
Valuation limits
Ohio HB 920 reduction factors limit voted-levy collection growth on carryover property. Athens County's 2026 official guidance also describes HB 186's inflation-cap credit, HB 335's inside-millage inflation limit, HB 129's 20-mill-floor changes, and HB 124 sales-data standards; these are collection/administrative rules, not a general parcel valuation cap.
