(KLZA)-- The Nebraska Department of Revenue, Property Assessment Division, reminds property owners that the Nebraska Homestead Exemption Application, Form 458, must be filed with your county assessor on or before June 30.

Due to the Federal and State income tax filings being extended to July 15, homestead exemption applicants may file the Nebraska Schedule I – Income Statement, Form 458 by the July 15 deadline. If possible, homestead exemption applicants should make reference to the extended Internal Revenue Service income tax filing deadline on their Form 458 applications that are filed on or before June 30.
