Fayette County Assessor’s office explains the homestead exemption

Fayette County, WV (WOAY) – If someone told you that you could save money on your tax bill, would you be interested?

Well, the Fayette County Assessor’s office was at Ansted Town Hall Tuesday morning assisting Fayette County residents in claiming their homestead exemption tax break that can work out to be around $250.

The homestead exemption is a state program for homeowners 65 and older or those who are permanently and totally disabled.

The clinics were in Smithers and Montgomery on Monday, and several residents participated and signed up.

The clinics will be in Meadow Bridge on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Thursday they will be at Oak Hill City Hall from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and then Mount Hope City Hall from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

No appointments are necessary, and all are welcome to come and get any questions they have answered.

Residents applying based on age need to bring a valid West Virginia driver’s license or state-issued ID.

If you are applying based on a permanent and total disability, bring your letter showing you are 100 percent disabled.
