Senior Tip
Most states and counties offer property tax exemptions or freezes for seniors. These can save hundreds or thousands of dollars per year. You must apply — they're not automatic.
How to Get Started
Find your county's tax website
Property taxes are managed by your county, not the federal government. Search "[your county] property tax payment" to find the right site.
Look up your property
Enter your address or parcel number to find your tax bill and assessment.
Check for senior exemptions
Look for "Senior Exemption," "Homestead Exemption," or "Senior Freeze" on your county's tax site.
Pay online
Most counties accept credit card, debit card, or electronic check (eCheck) payments online.

Troubleshooting
Don't know my county's tax website▾
Search "[your county name] [your state] property tax" in Google. Look for .gov URLs.
Assessment seems too high▾
You can appeal. Compare your assessment with similar properties on the county assessor's site. File an appeal before the deadline.
Missed the tax deadline▾
Contact your county treasurer's office. Penalties accrue quickly but payment plans are usually available.
Not sure if I qualify for senior exemption▾
Requirements vary by state/county but typically include: age 62-65+, own and live in the home, income below a threshold. Call your county assessor to ask.
Accessibility & Phone Help
Contact your county treasurer's office for phone payment assistance. Many counties offer in-person help at their offices.
