Utah Publication 36 also identifies property-tax relief: a renter credit of up to $1,412 for qualifying older renters or unmarried surviving spouses with 2025 household income under $44,221; homeowner low-income abatement of up to $1,412 plus a credit equal to tax on 20% of home fair market value; veterans with a disability exemptions up to $535,459 of taxable value based on disability percentage; blind exemptions up to $11,500 of taxable value; low-income abatement for qualifying older, disabled, or hardship homeowners; and mandatory senior property-tax deferral for qualifying homeowners age 75 or older with 2025 household income not more than $88,442.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Utah?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 03
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 04
Which tax year does this apply to, and what form claims it?
- 05
Does your employer already offer this, and have they told staff?
Some credits are claimed by the employer, not by you — asking is the move.
