Q: What tax credits are available and do I need to apply?

The 1b classification provides additional tax reduction for blind or permanently disabled homeowners but requires a separate application.

A: Initial applications for most tax credits and exemptions are due to the County Assessor by February 1st of the assessment year in which you first seek the benefit.
