Lawndale Taking Applications for Tax Exemption
Lawndale officials are accepting applications for exemptions to the city’s new utility tax.
The 5.5% tax approved June 16 excluded senior citizens and low-income or disabled residents. But residents who qualify must apply for the exemption, said Thomas A. Devereux, director of community services for the city.
Although there is no deadline for filing, the higher rates will begin to appear on residents’ bills after Monday. Residents who file for exemption after the new rates go into effect will be eligible for a refund, Devereux said.
Applications may be picked up at the City Hall finance department. Information: (310) 970-2100, Ext. 124.
