Tax deferral forms ready SALEM — Oregon senior citizens who want to defer th e ir fu tu re property taxes have until A pril 1st to file applications with their county assessors. Effective this year, per sons who are already participating in the program w ill have their deferrals continued automatically. Under Oregon’s Senior Citizen’ s Property Tax Deferral program, resi dents age 62 and older can delay paying p roperty taxes on th e ir homes. The taxes, plus six percent in terest, are due when the owner dies, sells the property or begins earning excess income from the property. The spouse o f a homeowner who dies while participating in the program may continue the deferral if he or she is at least age 59Vi. T o apply fo r the program , a homeowner must be at least 62 years old by March 1st; have recorded title to the property or be purchasing the property under a recorded sales con tract; live on the property; and earn less than $1800 yearly fro m the property. The Oregon D epartm ent o f Revenue (O D R ) adm inisters the program. The department reviews applications from county assessors' offices and pays the property taxes for homeowners. Persons taking advantage o f the deferral may still be eligible for a H om eowner and Renter Refund Program (HARRP) claim, i f their annual household income is under $16,000. The HAAR P refund does not become a lien on the taxpayer’ s property.
