How to apply for Property tax relief (Circuit Breaker, indigent, veteran and blind) — Iron in Utah
Iron County Auditor's Office
Who it's for
Iron County homeowners apply for property tax relief at the county Auditor's Office by September 1 each year. The Iron County Auditor's Office at 68 South 100 East in Parowan takes applications for low-income and elderly credits, a low-income and hardship abatement, and exemptions for blind people, disabled veterans and deployed military members. Applications must reach the office by 5:00 PM on September 1, and there are no refunds for past years. Call 435-477-8330. Under state rules for 2026, the homeowner low-income abatement (Circuit Breaker) is for homeowners whose 2025 household income was less than $44,221, who owned and lived in the home all year, and who are at least 67 years of age, are an unmarried surviving spouse, or qualified for the credit in 2025. It can abate up to $1,412 of property tax. The indigent abatement is 50 percent of the year's tax, up to $1,412, for low-income homeowners who are 67 or older or who can show a disability or extreme hardship. Veterans with a service-connected disability of at least 10 percent can get an exemption of up to $535,459 of taxable value, and legally blind owners can exempt up to $11,500. Renters do not apply to the county; they file a renter credit with the Utah State Tax Commission by December 31.
The county decides who qualifies and how much. Income limits and ages are set by the state and can change each year. Applications are due September 1 and most must be filed again every year.
