Important Notice:

The Randolph County Commission has voted to implement the provisions of the Senior Tax Credit (Senate Bills 190 and 756). 

We are currently waiting on the specific language from our attorney before enacting the ordinance for this senior tax credit as outlined in the two Senate Bills. There will be an application process that will be administered by the county collector, Michelle Lee.

The proposed ordinance will LOCK IN THE ASSESSED EVALUATION OF THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE OF QUALIFIED HOMEOWNERS, ONCE AN APPLICATION IS RECEIVED FOR THAT TAX YEAR. Making the current application period the assessed evaluation of your primary residence at the 2024 assessed evaluation rate. 

Please watch for future communication regarding the application process for those that would qualify for the Randolph County Senior Tax Credit!
