The Portola Valley School District residents who are seniors age 65 or older, or are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits, regardless of age are eligible. To receive the exemption, applications and supporting documents must be submitted to the District office. Once granted, exemptions will remain in effect as long as the resident remains eligible. 

The requirements to receive the senior exemption are:
