PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE APPLICATION

If you have recently moved to Bainbridge, please remember to update your Principal Residence Exemption. You must have a current Homestead Principal Residence Exemption (P.R.E.) on file to avoid paying the non-homestead school tax, which causes a substantial increase to your property tax. If you purchased property in Bainbridge Township or built a new home on previously owned property between January 1^st and April 30^th, you must file a new P.R.E. affidavit by May 1^st; if purchased between May 1^st and October 31^st, you must file by November 1^st to have P.R.E. credit for current year.
