Documentation is required to qualify for this exemption. Please see the instructions for qualifying items. A Physician’s Statement for Disabled Persons’ Homestead Exemption has been provided if no other documentation is available. PTAX 343-R must be submitted each year to qualify.


Proof of disability is required to qualify for the Disabled Persons’ Homestead Exemption (DPHE). Please see the Physician’s Statement for Disabled Persons’ Homestead Exemption and refer to the second page for acceptable proofs of disability listed.
