Senior Property Tax Freeze Credit
Last year the Board of Aldermen passed a Senior Property Tax Freeze Credit. Beginning Friday March 1st, eligible taxpayers will be able to apply for this program online, through the mail or in-person. The deadline to submit the applications is June 30th.
General info is available here:
A few points worth mentioning…
- We recommend that confidential documents NOT be emailed. They should either use the online portal (which has been made secure) or mail/deliver their documents. This information recommending safe/secure documents is on the actual application form.
- Senate Bill 190 defines an “eligible taxpayer” as someone who “Is eligible for Social Security Benefits”. Nowhere in the legislation does it say you have to be a certain age. The City’s ordinance states the taxpayer must be “Eligible for Social Security retirement benefits”. Because of this language, some taxpayers (teachers, firefighters, railroad, and some federal employees) may not qualify as they do not pay into Social Security.
- The freeze only applies to the City’s taxes, which is about 20% of the total tax amount.
