Which exemption requires authorization by the city or county and the homeowner to be 65+ years old with income of $20,000 or less?

• A. Exemption for blind people
• B. Additional exemption ($50K)
• C. Exemption for totally and permanently disabled individuals
• D. Exemption for veterans with at least 10% disability

Answer: (C)

Elderly and low‑income homeowners can qualify for an additional homestead exemption, but it isn’t automatic everywhere. It requires a local ordinance adopted by the city or county and an application by the homeowner. The condition typically includes being at least 65 years old and having household income at or below the specified limit (around $20,000). If eligible, you can receive up to an additional $50,000 exemption off the assessed value, reducing the property tax burden.

This fits the description in the question because the key elements are age, income limit, and local authorization. The other exemptions are based on different criteria: blindness, total and permanent disability, or veteran status with disability, and they don’t hinge on the same age/income test or local authorization.
