Homestead Verification Form
Individuals and married couples are limited to
one homestead standard deduction. Property owners in Dubois
County will receive an additional form with their property tax bills
this year if they are currently receiving the Homestead Deduction.
This pink form, the Homestead Verification Form, is to verify
that only one homestead deduction is filed, and will be mailed out with
2010, 2011, and 2012 tax bills. It is required to be filled out at
least once by January 1, 2013 for the Homestead Deduction to
be verified.
Individuals or
married couples claiming the deduction must complete this form to
verify eligibility and to provide identification numbers (the last five
digits of both the driver’s license and social security numbers), which
will be used to populate a secure homestead database and prevent
homestead fraud. The form is not required to be returned in person, but
must be returned to the Dubois County Auditor for the Homestead
Deduction to be verified. More information on the form can be
obtained from the DLGF
Website. A sample Homestead Verification Form can be
viewed here.
