For Senior Citizens, Blind, or Disabled Persons
The State Controller’s Property Tax Postponement Program returned in 2016 after being suspended by the Legislature in 2009. The 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 40 percent equity in the home and must meet the annual household income limit set each year by the Program. The annual household income limit is adjusted annually based on the rate of inflation.
