  1. It is interesting to see that this is the case in Ohio as well, but only for low-income older homeowners who live in a property or have full disability.
    In 1970, the law has been changed since then and has been applied to all senior citizens, but after 2007 the law returned to normal and only the poor and disabled were eligible for the discount.
    Changes to Ohio's laws after 2007:
    In 1970, Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment, permitting a homestead exemption that reduced property taxes for lower-income senior citizens. Then in 2007, the General Assembly expanded the program to include all senior citizens, regardless of their income. Now, the state of Ohio is returning to the originally approved system of applying means / income testing to determine eligibility for the homestead exemption.

    Current program participants and their eligible surviving spouses are exempt from income requirements; current program participants are those who received a homestead exemption tax credit for real property for tax year 2013. Current program participants or manufactured homeowners are those who received the credit for tax year 2014.
