Seniors who met the age, ownership and 10-year occupancy rules file the short form with the Assessor's Office; surviving spouses use the long form. The assessor also runs the two-year Qualified Senior Property Tax Discount pilot for seniors who moved, with a March 15 deadline and late filing to July 15.
