Property tax deferral for homeowners with limited income
If you are a homeowner with limited income, Washington has a program that may help you pay your property taxes and/or special assessments beginning in 2008.
Under this deferral program, the Department of Revenue pays 50 percent of your property taxes and/or special assessments on your behalf. The program is not an exemption or a grant. Deferred taxes are taxes that have been postponed. When you no longer own and use the property as your personal residence, you must repay the deferred tax. The deferred amount, plus interest, becomes a lien in favor of the state until the total amount is repaid.
