I think I am at the point where I can file this and not have to pay property tax on my house. How does one go about doing this? Local probate office?

Mine dropped from $415 to $357 when I turned 65, so it's not like it goes to zero. But that is a different exemption from the homestead. Anyone who lives on a property can claim the homestead exemption, no matter your age. I don't know what the age 65 exemption is called, but it is in addition to the homestead.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

You can file for homestead exemption if the property is your primary residence. If it is a second home like a hunting property or condo, you can still file for class III property taxes but not homestead exemption. Class III is half of class II last I looked at it so it is worth it. Class III with homestead exemption vs without is really not that much money. $80 or so I believe. I haven’t made it to retirement age so I can’t speak to that. Tax assessors office is the place to make the adjustment.

Never understood why we pay taxes on land we own. Biggest BS out there. Income is taxed. Purchase is taxed. Ownership is taxed. Dang if that’s not the truth

I think this explains it, if not a little hard to understand... https://www.revenue.alabama.gov/property-tax/homestead-exemptions/The way I see it, if you are 65 or older AND your combined income is less than $12k a year AND/OR you are permanently disabled, then and only then are you exempt from paying property tax. Otherwise you will pay less taxes on your own land, but you will still pay and pay until the day you die and then your heirs will pay. So the truth be told, you never really own anything, it's just an illusion.
