What if I did own and occupy my residence on or before May 1st, but did not file a principal residence affidavit?

Public Act 74 of 1995 provides for an exemption to be filed by mail or in person at the July or December Board of Review for the year of the claim, or the following year's July or December Board of Review. To petition the Board of Review, you must submit a signed Affidavit for Principal Residence Exemption. A petition to the December or July Board of Review must be made at least 5 days before the date of the Board of Review.
