Patricia Jones, M. Ed Waukegan Township Supervisor awareness of tax exemptions. Professionals will provide face-toface assistance in completing the Senior Citizen’s Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption form as well as other exemption programs. The Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption applies to an owner occupied principal residence, for people 65 years old and older who meet the income limitations. Forms are automatically mailed to taxpayers who already have qualified for the Senior Homestead Exemption. The services that Waukegan Township provides would mean nothing without your ongoing support. It means so much to us, as we move into a new year striving for bigger and better events and programs for everyone to learn, grow, and enjoy. On behalf of the Waukegan Township family, stay safe and make sure to check on your loved ones in these cold winter months.
