NEW HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAX CREDIT FOR BENTON COUNTY RESIDENTS 65 YEARS AND OLDER - APPLICATION DUE JULY 1, 2023 !!!
From the Benton Co. Assessor:
As you may have heard from the local news, on Facebook or through word of mouth, new legislation was passed to allow property owners, 65 years or older, to apply for an exemption along with their Homestead credit. Our office has seen a good volume of traffic come in to sign up but we want to make sure those who are qualified are made aware of this new exemption. The deadline to qualify for the 2023 exemption, for taxes payable 2024-2025, is July 1st so we are on short time to try to reach everyone we can.
Please review the attached flyer and spread the news to your family, friends, neighbors and/or constituents. I am also attaching the Homestead Credit and Exemption Application for you to print out if anyone requests one. There are other ways to access the application electronically, through our website on the “links and forms” page or through a property search on Beacon (fillable form hyperlink located at the bottom of the results page).
If there’s any questions, feel free to contact our office. Thank you for your time!

Have a wonderful weekend!
My name is Dena Bridgewater, I live south of Blairstown with my husband, Tom. We have two daughters, Kailey and Whitney. I teach 1st grade at Keystone and have almost completed year 17 at Benton Community. A fun little fact about me, I have taught both 1st and 2nd grade in the classrooms where I was also a first and second grade student in the Keystone building. When I am not at school, you can find me playing with my puppy, Blair, attending a Bobcat event, or hanging with family and friends.
Have a great weekend!
Last night the school board recognized this years retirees. Congratulations to Dr. Pamela Ewell, Barb Mattison, and Mary Wilhelmi! We wish you all the best!
