2026 Elderly/Disabled Property Tax Credit Claim

2026 Iowa Elderly/Disabled Property Tax Credit Claim

Are you age 65 or older?  Or…  Are you under age 65, but totally disabled?

If you own the house in which you live, you might qualify for an elderly or disabled credit on your property taxes.  Your 2025 household income must be less than $26,895.00 to qualify.  You MUST complete Form 54-001a which can be found on the Treasurer’s page of this website or by clicking here:  Iowa Property Tax Credit Claim, 54001

Are you over age 70 but have a household income above $26,895?

For those homeowners who make more than $26,895, but are age 70 or over, you may qualify for a credit that “freezes” your property taxes as of the first year you file.  Please remember that you MUST continue to file this form with our office every year to receive this credit going forward.  Following are the over 70 household income guidelines: 

Do you live in a Mobile Home Park? 

Residents in a mobile homes park do not need to be 65 to qualify.  They only need to be 23 years of age or 18 years of age and disabled to qualify for a property tax credit.  You must own the mobile home in which you live.  You may find the mobile home form here:  Iowa Mobile/Manufactured/Modular Home Owner Application for Reduced Tax Rate, 54014

IMPORTANT:  You MUST file for these credits every year to qualify.  All forms are due in the Treasurer’s office by JUNE 1, 2026.  If you are on our mailing list, those forms were mailed to you in early February.
