The senior property tax exemption shall freeze the assessed value of the property for the year immediately prior to claiming the exemption.

(1) The taxpayer shall continue to receive the senior property tax exemption as long as the taxpayer continues to use the property as his or her principal place of residence.

(3) The property shall continue to be subject to any millage rate changes on the property.
