Met with Mr. Clark concerning deadline for filing homestead exemption Mr. Clark
said he recently retired from the military. He said when he was active in the
military his home of record was Florida. He said he purchased the house in 2007
and went to the Tax Commissioner?s Office to file for homestead exemption after
March 1st. He said his application was accepted for the year 2009, but not for
2008 since he missed the March 1st deadline. Mr. Clark said he thought he could
file for homestead until April 1st, because our website indicates April 1st as
the deadline for filing non-taxable exemption. The Board took no action.
