To apply for this exemption, you need to be:

You can submit your application by:

Both applications are available to the right.

In addition to filling out basic information on the application (such as name, birth date, and address), you will need to provide:

Once you have those documents gathered, the application process is easy and quick.

Am I Paying AUSD's Parcel Taxes?

To check to see if you are still paying parcel taxes, open your most recent property tax bill.

AUSD's parcel taxes are listed on the right-hand side of your property tax statement. Exemptions are available for these. 

AUSD's bond measures are listed on the left-hand side of the statement.  State law does not allow school districts to offer exemptions for these measures.
