SENIOR CITIZENS ASSESSMENT FREEZE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION | CHAMPAIGN COUNTY OFFICES
This exemption "freezes" the senior citizen's property's equalized assessed value the year that the senior citizen qualifies for the exemption. The property's equalized assessed value does not increase as long as qualification for the exemption continues. The tax bill may still increase if any tax rates are increased or if improvements are added that increase the value of the property.
