What is the Special Senior Property Tax Exemption and do I qualify?

In November 2022, Alabama voters passed a Constitutional Amendment, which allows homeowners in Jefferson County who are 65 or older to claim an additional Special Senior Property Tax Exemption. This is in addition to the currently available Over 65 Exemption and eliminates the State’s portion of the property tax on a homestead. This new exemption freezes the assessed value of the property at the value of the property for the year immediately prior to the taxpayer claiming the exemption.

There is no income test for this exemption. To claim the exemption, the person must be age 65 or older, and the property must meet the following criteria:

• Real property owned by this person
• Classified as a single-family, owner-occupied residence
• Used as the principal place of residence of this person for at least 5 years prior to claiming

This exemption will not prevent the person from claiming or continuing to claim a homestead exemption or any other exemption available by law.

To claim your exemption, fill out the form here:https://vhal.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/120/2023/04/Special-Senior-Exemption-Form.pdf

Submit this completed form, along with a picture of your valid photo ID, to [email protected] or mail the form and a copy of your valid photo ID to:

Jefferson County Tax Assessor
716 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd N, Room 170
Birmingham, AL 35203

This form MUST BE FILED by April 30, 2023 to be effective for this year’s exemption.

Hoover has amazing restaurants across the city.

From Greystone to Ross Bridge, we have a diversity of great places to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a special dessert.

Today, I want to encourage you to step outside your usual dining routine and try a new restaurant in a different part of the city.

Use the Hoover Restaurant Week Participants' Album to learn about each restaurant (website and social links are provided with each image) and invite a friend to meet to eat at a new restaurant with you.
