IL HB3836

Allows persons aged 64 or older to apply for the senior citizens homestead exemption if they will turn 65 during the assessment year for which the exemption is sought

Amends the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/15-170) to expand the application window for the senior homestead exemption

Current law already allows those who will turn 65 during the current assessment year to apply; this bill clarifies that 64-year-olds may submit applications in advance for the upcoming year when they will qualify

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law
