PROPERTY TAX POSTPONEMENT PROGRAM

The State Controllerʼs Office administers the Property Tax Postponement (PTP) program, which allows eligible homeowners to defer paying property taxes and repay the taxes, plus interest, later. To qualify, you must be 62 years of age, or blind or disabled; own and occupy the property as your principal place of residence; have a total household income of $49,017 or less for the 2021 calendar year; have at least 40 percent equity in the property and not have a reverse mortgage on the property.

Funds are limited for this program and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The application period is open from October 1, 2022, until February 10, 2023. For more information, e-mail postponement@sco.ca.gov or call 800-952-5661.
