To qualify for this program, the form provided below must be completed and returned IN PERSON to the Administrative Services Department, along with a copy of a valid driver\u2019s license, passport, or other identification showing date of birth. In addition, you will be required to bring one statement from each of the utility companies that you want the City to process for a UUT exemption, for example: telephone, water, gas and electrical service. Once the City accepts your application, they have approved your exemption, however they must work with the utility \u00a0companies to cease the collection of the tax. Each of the utility companies must be contacted separately and the process may take up to three months, please contact the City at (310) 217-9521 if UUT is still being collected after that time period or if you should have any questions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/senioruutexemption.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senior Citizen UUT Exemption application<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information call <strong><a href=\"tel:1-310-217-9521\">1-310-217-9521<\/a><\/strong> or visit the Administrative Services Department located in City Hall, Room 104, 1700 W. 162nd Street Gardena, CA 90247<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13687\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cityofgardena.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
