Dear Seniors

We wanted to let you know, as of 2024, The Madison County Chief County Assessment Office

will no longer require renewal on the Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption (the yellow card).

Yearly renewal WILL still be required for those eligible for the Assessment Freeze!

These applications will be mailed out to you from the Assessor’s Office.  PLUS, you will need to

provide a copy of either a State ID Card, Voter’s ID Card or IL State Driver’s License.

The address on the driver’s license must match the address of the property seeking the exemption.

If you have any questions, you can call our office at 618-259-1532.

 

People who have already signed up for tax exemptions, will receive a packet in the mail in

January of the new year, for renewing those exemptions.
