(KLZA)-- The Nebraska Department of Revenue, Property Assessment Division (Department) reminds property owners that the Nebraska Homestead Exemption Application, Form 458, must be filed with their county assessor between February 2, 2026 and June 30, 2026.

The homestead exemption provides relief from property taxes by exempting all or a portion of

the taxable value of the residence. The State of Nebraska reimburses counties and other

governmental subdivisions for the property taxes lost due to homestead exemptions.

In Nebraska, a homestead exemption is available to the following groups of persons:

• Persons age 65 or older before January 1, 2026;

• Qualified disabled individuals; or

• Qualified disabled veterans and their surviving spouses.

Some categories are subject to household income and residence valuation limitations. The

income limitations are on a sliding scale based on filing status and homestead exemption

category.

assessor’s office, or the Department at 888-475-5101.
