Wednesday's tax tip Vol. 15- Homestead Credits

At one time, the state of Ohio maintained a homestead credit for home owner's over the age of 65 provided that they meet certain income parameters.

Recently the state eliminated the income requirements so that all home owners over the age of 65 and/or permanently disabled, now qualify for the credit.

Here are the applications for the Southwest Ohio counties.

Hamilton County - Hamilton County Auditor
Clermont County - Clermont County Auditor
Warren County - Warren County Auditor
Butler County - Butler County Auditor
