Assessor: Homestead exemption emails are legitimate

​YORK COUNTY – If people have been receiving emails regarding their homestead exemption status, they are legitimate, according to York County Assessor Kurt Bulgrin.
“In an effort to reduce costs at the state level, the Nebraska Department of Revenue – Property Assessment Division is emailing homestead exemption applicants who are 100% qualified for homestead exemption this year instead of sending them a letter,” Bulgrin explained.
“We want the public to know that the email from the state is not a scam, and that they can trust the link provided in the email. If anyone in the public has any questions about their homestead status or the homestead program, please feel free to call the county assessor’s office at 402-362-4926, extension 6.”
