What is the ‘Property Tax Postponement Program’?
A. Property Tax Postponement for Senior Citizens, Blind, or Disabled Citizens allows eligible homeowners to postpone payment of the property taxes on their principal place of residence. On February 20, 2009, the Governor signed Chapter 4, Statutes of 2009, which immediately suspends the Senior Citizens’ Property Tax Deferral Program. This legislation prohibits the filing of claims for property tax postponement and prohibits the Controller from accepting claims filed after February 20, 2009. As a result of the program suspension, the State Controller will no longer accept claims for property tax postponement pending modification or repeal of this new law. For more information REGARDING TAX POSTPONEMENT ONLY call the State Controller’s Office at (800) 952-5661, or by clicking here. If you are calling from a local 916 area, please call 327-5587.
