Your application paperwork
Form to file: Form DTE 105A (Homestead Exemption Application)
Ohio's Homestead Exemption lowers the property tax on the home of a qualifying senior, disabled person, or surviving spouse by shielding part of the home's market value from tax. You file Form DTE 105A once with your county auditor, and the exemption continues each year.
Steps to apply
- Confirm with the administrator that you meet the current rules: age 65 or older during the year, or permanently and totally disabled, or a qualifying surviving spouse, and the home is your principal residence.
- Download Form DTE 105A, the Homestead Exemption Application, from the Ohio Department of Taxation.
- If you qualify based on disability, also complete Form DTE 105E, the Certificate of Disability.
- File the form with your county auditor's office by the deadline.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof of age (65 or older) or the disability certificate (Form DTE 105E).
- Proof the home is your principal residence.
- Your prior-year Ohio income information if an income test applies.
- The completed Form DTE 105A.
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
