Commission Updates Senior Real Estate Property Tax Relief

The Clay County Commission has approved an update to the County’s Senior Real Estate Property Tax Relief Program on January 8th, 2026.

The update reflects changes to state law and revises how certain property tax levies are treated within the program. As part of the amendment, property tax levies associated with bonded debt obligations will now be included in the Senior Real Estate Property Tax Relief Program, expanding relief for eligible seniors.

The update also clarifies that the program does not apply to the State Blind Pension Fund. This clarification does not change how that fund has been treated under the program.

The County will administer the updated program in accordance with applicable laws and County procedures.

Supporting property tax relief for eligible seniors has been a longstanding and ongoing priority of the Clay County Commission.
