Tax deferral forms ready

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
