Additional Information:

My mother currently owes back property tax for a few years and just found out that she can apply for a statutory exemption. My question is does the statutory exemption only cover the current year or can it be applied to the past years that she owes taxes for?

ATTORNEY ANSWER:

In some cases a Property Tax exemption that was not taken in a prior year can be obtained in the current year.  Even if the taxes were not paid the exemption may still be available.
