Exemptions & appeals

View exemption application

Exemption filing

December 31, 2026 for the 2025 tax year payable in 2026; Lorain County's current notice says the form must be received by the Auditor by December 31, not merely postmarked.

Senior relief

Lorain County's 2026 guidance: qualifying homeowners age 65+, permanently and totally disabled homeowners, eligible public-safety surviving spouses, and qualifying 100% disabled veterans; 2025 Ohio MAGI generally must not exceed $41,000 for new applicants. State homestead shields $29,000 of market value and enhanced veteran relief shields $58,000. The county rescinded its local-option homestead exemption for tax year 2026 payable in 2027.

Valuation limits

Lorain County's official HB 186 FAQ says the Inflation Cap Credit applies automatically when eligible school-tax growth exceeds inflation after a reappraisal; it affects certain school-related taxes, not every tax-bill component or the appraised parcel value itself.

For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
