Property Tax Postponement
Allows eligible seniors, blind, and disabled homeowners to defer current-year property taxes, with the state paying taxes in exchange for a low-interest lien.
• Home • Public Services • Property Tax Postponement The State Controller’s Property Tax Postponement Program allows homeowners who are seniors, are blind, or have a disability to defer current-year property taxes on their principal residence if they meet certain criteria, including at least 40 percent equity in the home and an annual household income of $55,181 or less (among other requirements). The deferment of property taxes is secured by a lien against the property which must eventually be repaid. 2025-26 Program Timeline 2025-26 Property Tax Postponement Application Program Facts • Frequently Asked Questions • Fact Sheet Contact Us To join our mailing list or get more information about the Property Tax Postponement Program, call (800) 952-5661 or email [email protected].
