20 - SENIOR CITIZENS' PROPERTY TAX DEFERRAL PROGRAM

The Senior Citizens' Property Tax Deferral Program, which is administered by the State Controller's Office, allows eligible homeowners to defer payment of residential property taxes. The state pays the deferred taxes to local governments on behalf of the participants, and places a lien on their property to assure repayment when the property is sold or transferred. Funding for this Program was eliminated in the 2009 Budget Act.
