The Harnett County Tax Department is currently accepting property tax exclusion applications for elderly/disabled persons and disabled veterans.
Each year from January 1 – June 1, the Tax Department accepts applications for individuals to receive property tax relief for their permanent residence where the residence is occupied by the qualifying owner.
The Tax Department is offering two types of tax relief programs:

The exclusion amount is the greater of $25,000 or 50% of the appraised value of the residence. The relief program is subject to income and/or disability statement verification.
Homestead exemption for disabled veterans-
As of January 1st, of the tax year, a disabled veteran who has served in any branch of the Armed Forces may have the first $45,000 of appraised value excluded from taxation. The applicant must meet the following criteria:
A one-time application is required for either type of tax relief program. Documentation for proof of income and/or disability is also required, and applications must be submitted by June 1, 2024.
“Qualified individuals for these programs can benefit by receiving tax relief on their residential tax bill each year,” said Christine Wallace, Harnett County Tax Administrator. “Please share this information with your family, friends, or neighbors, that may benefit from this program.”
