State Property Tax Postponement Program
On September 28, 2014, the Governor signed AB2231 (Statutes of 2014, Chapter 703) which reinstates the State Controller's Property Tax Postponement Program with some revisions. The program will allow senior, blind, and disabled citizens with an annual household income of $35,500 or less and 40% equity in their homes to apply to defer payment of property taxes on their principle residence. Under this bill, applications may be filed with the State Controller's Office beginning October 1, 2016. Applications will not be accepted prior to October 1, 2016. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions for further program information, or call toll free, 1-800-952-5661.
