If you own a home and occupy it as your principal place of residence on January 1, you may apply for an exemption of $7,000 of your assessed value. New property owners will automatically receive an exemption application. Annually, thereafter, you can confirm your exemption by reviewing the Value Card mailed annually to you between June and July before the delivery of your bill by the Tax Collector. 

Homeowners' Exemption's may also apply to the supplemental assessment, if it was not previously applied to the regular assessment.
