The DTE 105B form, revised as of November 2013, plays a crucial role for senior citizens, disabled persons, and surviving spouses in maintaining the homestead exemption benefits they already receive. This document, essentially a Continuing Homestead Exemption Application, must be submitted to the county auditor no later than the first Monday in June, but only under specific circumstances where changes in eligibility status have occurred. The form requires detailed information including the county, tax year, taxing district, parcel or registration number, ownership details, and the homestead address whether it pertains to real property or a manufactured or mobile home. It's designed to ensure that any shifts in the owner's situation such as a change in principal residence, ownership alterations, adjustments in the owner's disability status, or the death of the owner, are officially reported. Additionally, modifications relating to a revocable inter vivos trust or changes in income that could affect qualification under specific regulations must also be disclosed. Applicants are also required to affirm the accuracy of the information provided under the penalty of perjury, adding a layer of formal declaration to the submission process. This form underscores the importance of keeping the county auditor informed of any changes that would affect one's homestead exemption, thus ensuring that those eligible can continue to benefit from this vital support.
