Tax relief and valuation review
A homestead exemption, senior-relief program, or valuation protest can change the amount a homeowner owes—but only if the filing reaches the right local office in the correct window. Use the verified county guidance below as your working checklist, then confirm the current form and deadline with Montgomery County Commissioner of the Revenue.
Relief programs
The filing guidance for this county is: Repeat elderly/disabled tax-relief applicants are due March 1 annually; first-time applications are due December 31 for the following tax year. Use the official form or application channel, provide the residence and ownership documentation requested, and keep a copy of the submission.
Open homestead applicationMontgomery elderly/disabled relief: age 65 or totally/permanently disabled, owner-occupant; income limit $72,000 excluding the first $10,000 of applicant/relative income, net-worth limit $210,000 excluding the home and one acre; relief ranges from 40% to 100%.
Assessments are at 100% fair market value with a four-year reassessment cycle; no general local annual valuation cap was verified.
Appealing an assessment
Use the valuation notice and the county’s published protest guidance to determine the last day to file. Do not assume the payment deadline controls the appeal.
Gather comparable sales, photographs, repair records, appraisal evidence, property characteristics, and any documentation that explains why the assessed value is incorrect.
Submit through the official channel, save the confirmation, and attend the board or review hearing if one is scheduled. An appraiser or attorney can help evaluate evidence when the value or stakes are substantial.
The verified protest guidance for this county is: the official forms page provides an appeal-of-real-estate-assessment form, but no specific 2026 filing deadline was published. If the language is not a specific calendar date, contact the office promptly for the current notice and board-review schedule.
