Welcome to the Douglas County Assessor/Register of Deeds website!
PROPERTY-TAX RELIEF IS AVAILABLE!
In 1969, the Homestead-Exemption Act was passed to provide property-tax relief to certain owners of residential property. Back then, it provided for an exemption of $800 of actual value for residences valued at $4,000 or more. The homestead-exemption benefits have changed over the years and currently provide for an exemption of all or part of real-property taxes for individuals 65 or older with limited income, veterans and individuals with certain disabilities.
The Douglas County Assessor/Register of Deeds office encourages any property owner in Douglas County who feels he/she might qualify for the Nebraska Homestead Exemption to file an application by June 30.
