The economic downturn resulting from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has created a burden for many taxpayers in Riverside County. Limited options to postpone property taxes are available for some residents under California State law.
This state program allows homeowners who are seniors (62 years of age or older), or taxpayers who have a disability, to defer current-year property taxes on their principal residence. There are several requirements for participation in the program, including at least 40 percent equity in the home and an annual household income of $45,000 or less.
The deadline to apply for the state Property Tax Postponement Program is February 10.
Applications and program details can be found online at the State Controller’s Website ( https://www.sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html) or by calling (800) 952-5661.
