I just got back from the Skokie assessor's office. I waited less than 1 hour to apply for long term homeowners and senior exemption which my husband is entitled to. They were not going to give it to us until I mentioned we had received it on the previous bill and unfortunately, he is not getting any younger! BTW-you cannot receive both the senior freeze and the long term. For the senior freeze, income must be no more than $55,000
