Homestead Exemption Now Available Online!

Great news for homeowners in Madison County! Our very own Cliff Mann, former HAAR President and current Madison County Tax Assessor, has announced an exciting new way to file for your homestead exemption.
You can now claim your homestead exemption conveniently and easily through the Tax Assessor’s website!

Here's a step-by-step guide to get started:

  1. Visit the Madison County Tax Assessor’s website.
  2. Click on the “Appraisal and Assessment” tab.
  3. Search for your property. Important Note: If your name doesn’t appear, try changing the tax year to the most current one. Please remember, it can take 4-6 weeks for ownership updates to show online after a deed is recorded with the Probate Judge’s office.
  4. Once you’ve found your property and your name is correct, click “File Online Assessment.”
  5. Follow the prompts and be prepared to upload the following documents:
    • A set date letter or contract information from your Huntsville Utilities online account.
    • The declarations page of your homeowner’s insurance policy.
    • A driver’s license with the property address.
  6. If you are 65 years or older, or permanently and totally disabled, you will also be asked to upload income tax or disability information.
This new online process makes it simpler than ever to ensure you’re receiving the tax benefits you’re entitled to.
