Any person age 65 or over exempted from paying property tax in Dale County, in partial or in whole, shall also be exempted from paying the fee levied by this part. Any person less than the age of 65 and having an annual adjusted gross income of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) or less, as shown on the person's and spouse's latest United States income tax return, may apply for an exemption annually and shall be exempted from paying the fee levied by this part for the principle residence of the household, provided the person seeking to claim the exemption shall present proof of income to the county administrator no later than July 1 of any year in which the exemption is desired. In the event that such person and spouse are not required to file a United States income tax return, then an affidavit indicating that the annual gross income of such person and spouse for the preceding taxable year was twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) or less shall be sufficient proof. The exemption shall apply only so long as the person's annual gross income shall be twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) or less and shall be requested each year in which the exemption is desired. The fee levied by this part shall be assessed unless application for exemption is submitted to the Dale County Commission, or its designee, and approved. Any person who knowingly provides false or misleading information in order to obtain an exemption shall lose his or her household exemption and shall be subject to Section 45-23-141.10.
