Exemptions & appeals

July 1–August 31, 2026 for the annual elderly/disabled real-estate tax-freeze application.
Senior relief
Salem's tax freeze applies to qualifying owners age 65+ or totally and permanently disabled whose primary residence is the dwelling; published limits are combined gross income up to $65,000 and assets excluding the home up to $185,000.
Valuation limits
No general annual valuation cap verified. Salem conducts annual reassessment at fair-market value; the elderly/disabled program freezes the qualifying taxpayer's tax amount, not the assessment.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
