I have not been claiming a homestead exemption on my home. What should I do?

Contact our Assessing Department at 269-781-5183 to obtain the form necessary to correct your homestead status. Recent tax law changes allow the City to correct the homestead status for the current year, and with Board of Review approval, three prior years. After Board of Review approval, if you are due a refund from prior year's tax payments, your refund will be issued by the Calhoun County Treasurers Office.

Rescinding your Exemption: If you claim an exemption, then stop using the property as a principal residence, you must notify the City Assessor within 90 days of the change or you may be penalized. This can be done using the Form 2602, Request to Rescind Homeowner's Principal Residence Exemption (PDF).
