     10-6A-2.   Any person making an application under the provisions of this chapter is entitled to a real property tax assessment freeze upon the person's single-family dwelling if the following conditions are met:
             (1)      Has a household income of less than fifteen thousand forty-one dollars and twenty-eight cents if the household is a single-member household; or
             (2)      Has a household income of less than eighteen thousand eight hundred one dollars and fifty- nine cents if the household is a multiple-member household; and
