The Property Tax Deferral Program helps military personnel and seniors, many of whom live on a fixed income, continue to afford to live in their homes by deferring the payment of their property taxes. The State Treasurer’s office makes tax payments directly to the county on behalf of the participant for the tax amount due. The loan is logged as a lien against the participant’s property that does not have to be remitted until the participant no longer qualifies to defer their property taxes. There are eligibility requirements.
