Homestead Deduction
Application Deadline
If a Homestead Exemption application is filed between October 1 to March 31, the property will receive the Homestead benefit for the entire tax year (and for all tax years in the future). If an approved application is filed from April 1 to September 30, the property will receive the benefit on the second-half tax bill.
The Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) Homestead Unit has implemented the electronic online filing for this program. OTR encourages all filers to submit their application request electronically.
Applications can be filed on paper but resident needs to request a waiver. Details below.
Senior Citizen or Disabled Property Owner Benefit
Application Deadline
Senior Citizen or Disabled Property Owners may file an application immediately if they are age 65 or older or disabled. If the property owner lives in a cooperative housing association, the cooperative will supply and collect the applications.

Homeowner and Renter Property Tax Credit (Schedule H)
Application Deadline
File your completed Schedule H with your Personal Income Tax Return. You have three years from the due date to claim the credit. To file for previous years, you must use the form that corresponds to the tax year in question. A link to forms from prior years is included under contact details below.
Standalone Filers:
If you are not required to file a DC individual income tax return because you are below the income tax filing threshold, you can file Schedule H as a standalone return.
Property Tax-Aide has independently selected the property tax relief programs featured on this website that we think are the most relevant and beneficial to older adults. It is not an exhaustive list of all property tax relief programs available in each state. Please consult your local tax agency for a comprehensive listing of property tax relief programs in your area.
