To calculate a tax bill, first deduct any exemptions that may apply from the assessed value, generating a net assessed (taxable) value. Next, the net assessed value is multiplied by the millage rate to get the tax dollar amount due. 

For this exemption, the qualifying homeowner must apply in person at the County Auditor's Office. However, if unable to appear, the homeowner may authorize someone who holds Power of Attorney to him/her to submit an application by providing him or her with the proper documents. The state does not allow us to send application forms out of the office.
