To determine your tax liability, divide the value of your home by 100, and then multiply by the current tax rate. Tax exemptions exclude all or part of a property's value from taxation. The The Over 65 Disabled Disabled Veteran Payment Schedule Taxes are due Oct. 1st of each tax year and are considered delinquent if payment is not postmarked on or before Jan. 31. If Jan. 31 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, taxes are considered delinquent if not postmarked on or before Feb. 1st. Penalty and interest accrue at the following rate if taxes remain unpaid by the delinquent date. Delinquent taxpayers will be receiving statements from Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson Delinquent Tax Attorneys office.
Payment Options/Deferrals for Senior Citizens If taxpayers claiming the Over 65/Disabled Exemption pay at least one-fourth of the taxes due before the delinquency date of February 1st, the balance may be paid in three equal installments without penalty or interest. The first installment must be paid before April 1st, the second installment before June 1st and the third installment before August 1st. If you are a homeowner age 65 or older, you may defer or postpone paying any delinquent property taxes on your home for as long as you own and live in it. To postpone your tax payments, file a “tax deferral affidavit” with your appraisal district. A tax deferral only postpones paying your taxes. It does not cancel them. Interest is added at the rate of 8 percent per year. Once you no longer own your home or live in it, past taxes and interest become due. Any penalty and interest that was due on the tax bill for the home before the tax deferral will remain on the property and also become due when the tax deferral ends. |
