Homestead Exemption
•This is an exemption offered by the Town which reduces the taxable value of all
homes by 20%, which is the maximum amount allowed under the law.
Additional 65+ or Disabled Exemption
•A $10,000 exemption on the taxable value of homes of 65+ or disabled residents.
(This is one or the other, not both).
Homestead Tax Ceiling
•Limits the total amount of taxes residents who are 65+ or disabled pay so that in
future years their taxes will not increase beyond what they are currently paying.
•Any resident that was 65 when Westlake adjusted its ad valorem rate in 2010, will
not pay any municipal ad valorem taxes due to this tax ceiling.
•If a resident turned 65 this year, then the amount they paid this year in municipal ad
valorem taxes would remain fixed at that amount. They will not pay more but could
potentially pay less if taxes are lowered.
