Disability effective date must be prior to January 1 of the applicable tax year. Transfers to surviving spouse if spouse is age 60 or older.
Covers
Exemption from property taxes on the first $150,000 of assessed value of the primary residence — this is the minimum required by state law (AS 29.45.030). Individual municipalities may set a higher exemption amount by ordinance, so check with your borough/city assessor.
Estimated value
At a typical 10-mill rate, savings would be approximately $1,500/year at the $150K floor; higher in municipalities with larger exemptions.
