If you are a homeowner age 65 or over or disabled, you can defer, or
postpone, paying delinquent property taxes on your homestead for as
long as you own it and live in it. To postpone your tax payments, file a
tax deferral affidavit with your appraisal district. The deferral applies to
delinquent property taxes for all of the taxing units that tax your home.
You should be aware that a tax deferral only postpones payments, it does not cancel them. Interest will be added at the
rate of 8% annually. Once you no longer own your home or live in it, all the taxes, penalties, and interest become due after
180 days and the taxing units may proceed with a lawsuit to collect delinquent taxes if the taxes remain unpaid.
