People who are 100% disabled and those over the age of 65 can qualify for an elderly and disabled property tax credit through the Marion County Treasurer’s Office.
The Iowa Legislature allows a property tax credit based on total household income for residents of Iowa, aged 65 and older, or age 18 and older and totally disabled. The income is based on last year’s income, and the requirements change annually. The total household income for 2025 must be less than $26,895. Claimants can receive a maximum total tax credit of up to $1000. Marion County Treasurer Michaela Bigaouette says the deadline for this is approaching, and her office is always available to answer questions.
“To get this credit, you must fill out the form every year and turn it in to us by June 1st. We’re already in May, time is ticking, so you only have a couple of weeks. If you need one, you can go to our website, or you can go directly to the Iowa Department of Revenue’s website. We have them in our office, and you can stop by or call us; we’re happy to get them to you.”
