Disability Exemption Explanation and Applications

Disability Requirements

Download the Homestead/Disability Application.

You can download and complete these forms on your computer.

To qualify for the Disability Exemption, a person must be classified as totally disabled under any type of public or private retirement system. In addition, the following provisions must be met:

  • The applicant must have maintained the disability classification for the entire year.
  • The applicant must have received disability payments under this classification.
  • Verification documentation must be submitted to the property valuation administrator before December 31 of each year to show continuing eligibility.

KRS 132.810(2) (h) provides, “When title to property which is exempted, either in whole or in part, under the homestead exemption is transferred, the owner, administrator, executor, trustee, guardian, conservator, curator or agent shall report such transfer to the property valuation administrator.”

Fraudulent Misrepresentations

Under the provisions of KRS 132,990(1), “Any person who willfully fails to supply the property valuation administrator or the revenue cabinet with a complete list of his property and such facts with regard thereto as may be required or who violates any of the provisions of KRS 132.570 shall be fined not more that five hundred dollars ($500).” Do you meet these requirements?
