What to remember
- You'll need to pay the first half of your taxes before you apply for a deferral on the 2nd installment. The first payment is due on April 30, and the second on October 31.
- We base the interest rate for the deferral on an average of the federal short-term rate, plus 3%.
- The application deadline is September 1 of each year.
- Future deferrals do not renew automatically. You must reapply each year.
- The Department of Revenue will pay 50% of your property taxes on your behalf
- The program is not an exemption or grant
- The deferred taxes and interest, become a lien on your property until the total amount is repaid.
