Property Tax Assistance: Still Time To Apply, but Deadline is July 1!

 Metro has two property tax assistance programs for senior and disabled low-income homeowners.   With the steep increase in property tax rates just approved by Metro Council, these programs are more important than ever.  Due to COVID-19, the deadline to apply or renew this year was extended to July 1 (next Wednesday!). 

  • Tax Relief Program - For homeowners 65 or older, or disabled homeowners of any age: Income cannot exceed $29,860 for the 2018 calendar year. The program gives reimbursements of some portion of property taxes.

  • Tax Freeze Program - For homeowners 65 or older: Total income of all owners of the property during 2018 cannot exceed $42,620. Property taxes are frozen at the previous year’s rate. (More info HERE.)
