Program continuation

If you are currently receiving this exclusion, you do not need to apply again, unless you have changed your permanent residence, or receive a Compliance Review form. In the event the person receiving the exclusion has died, or no longer occupies the home, the person required by law to list the property must notify the assessor. Failure to make any of the notices required by this paragraph before June 1 may result in penalties and interest.
