Memo

New SDF Form

• On the bottom of the second page where the buyers sign the document there are two new things that need to be completed if the buyer(s) are filing for the Homestead Standard Deduction. They need to fill in the last 5 digits of their drivers license/ID and the last five digits of the social security number. All buyers applying for Homestead must complete the info. If neither of these numbers are available, the filer may submit an alternative number, such as the United States Permanent Resident ("A") number. A sales disclosure form cannot be rejected by the Assessor if this information is missing. However, failure to provide the information may result in the deduction not being applied to the property.
  
  
• The second change is the addition of question 9. in the deduction area on the second page. It allows the buyer (if they pay their own tax bills) to receive their tax bills by email. If the buyer wishes to do so they can only have the bill sent to one email. If the county currently does not offer that service then they will hold the email address until such time as they can electronically email the bill to the buyer. If the buyer elects to have their tax bills emailed they must write in their name and email address.
