A carbon-block filter will remove chlorine at the 99% level, for the concentrations we have in The Villages (1.5 ppm) and typical flow rates from a kitchen faucet (1 gpm), when new. This will degrade with time but is easily monitored with chlorine test strips. KDF-based filters will also remove chlorine. The carbon-block filter I use (20"x4.5" Big Blue) costs about $60 and is good for about 2 years before I notice any chlorine leakage.
