NEW HOMESTEAD PROPERTY TAX CREDIT FOR BENTON COUNTY RESIDENTS 65 YEARS AND OLDER - APPLICATION DUE JULY 1, 2023 !!!
From the Benton Co. Assessor:
As you may have heard from the local news, on Facebook or through word of mouth, new legislation was passed to allow property owners, 65 years or older, to apply for an exemption along with their Homestead credit. Our office has seen a good volume of traffic come in to sign up but we want to make sure those who are qualified are made aware of this new exemption. The deadline to qualify for the 2023 exemption, for taxes payable 2024-2025, is July 1st so we are on short time to try to reach everyone we can.
Please review the attached flyer and spread the news to your family, friends, neighbors and/or constituents. I am also attaching the Homestead Credit and Exemption Application for you to print out if anyone requests one. There are other ways to access the application electronically, through our website on the “links and forms” page or through a property search on Beacon (fillable form hyperlink located at the bottom of the results page).
If there’s any questions, feel free to contact our office. Thank you for your time!

A few pics from the Variety Show held at Norway Intermediate this morning.
I previously taught High School math for 14 years, and I am currently the building principal at the Norway Center for the past four years. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, vacationing, and watching my children's many activities.

Last night the school board recognized this years retirees. Congratulations to Dr. Pamela Ewell, Barb Mattison, and Mary Wilhelmi! We wish you all the best!
Year 24 of teaching with Benton Community is almost in the books! I have taught 5th and 6th grade and all core subjects except for science in two different buildings. I live in Van Horne with my wife Laurie, my junior daughter Kennedy and my son Kole, who is in 5th grade. Our oldest daughter Kaylin graduated from Benton last year and lives in Iowa City. When I'm not coaching high school track or one of my children's sports teams I can usually be found cheering on the Cyclones, Bears, Cardinals or Bobcats at some sporting event with friends and family.
