Alabama homeowners claiming the H-3 total homestead exemption from state and county property tax because of disability need a treating physician's sworn statement. On PT-PA-1 the physician confirms active treatment of the disability, gives an opinion that the person is permanently and totally disabled, and states the date the disability began.
An Alabama-licensed physician actively providing treatment directly related to the disability completes and signs the affidavit, including license number with issue and expiration dates. The top section identifies the person examined by name and address.
