General Property Tax Information
Programs that provide general information about the tax obligations of property owners.
Property Tax Exemption Information
Programs that provide information and guidance regarding property tax relief programs that grant partial or complete exemptions from property taxes for homeowners who are experiencing severe financial hardship. Exemptions are a reduction in the assessed value of a home by a specified amount and corresponding reductions in property taxes. Some forms of relief, known as "circuit-breaker" programs, offer exemptions that phase out as income increases. Many exemption programs have specified eligibility criteria, e.g., older adults, people with disabilities, widows, veterans and disabled veterans who have a permanent service-connected disability of a specified percent. In some cases, people who qualify must also meet income guidelines. In others, income is not a factor.
Property Tax Postponement Information
Programs that provide information and guidance for eligible individuals (usually people age 62 and older who meet established household income guidelines and people who are blind or totally disabled) who may qualify for the property tax postponement program. Eligible individuals may defer payment of all or a portion of their property taxes until they move, sell their homes or pass away, but create a lien on their property in doing so.
Property Tax Reappraisal Exclusion Information
Programs that provide information and guidance for older adults who meet age requirements and may qualify for the reappraisal exclusion program which provides one-time property tax relief for older adults by exempting them from a property valuation increase and a supplemental tax bill when they sell a home and purchase another of equal or lesser value. The administrative details of this program may be subject to local variations.
Property Tax Rebate Information
Programs that provide information and guidance for individuals who meet income, age and/or disability requirements and may qualify for a special property tax rebate or tax credit through programs offered by local or state government. The mechanics of the program differ among jurisdictions. In some areas, applications for the property tax rebates are filed with state income tax returns and the rebate may take the form of a tax credit or a rebate check. In other areas, applications are filed with the local property tax assessment agency which issues a rebate check.
Property Value Reassessment/Filing Information
