They tax their residents to fund resources like emergency response departments, schools, and libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much will <em>you <\/em>owe in property taxes? It depends on what your state and local governments decide. If you\u2019re a senior or have a disability, most states offer reductions. To offset the pain of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/can-buying-a-home-offset-inflation\/\">inflation<\/a>, some states have raised income thresholds this year, making tax breaks available to more seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on, as we look at some highlights. We start with New Jersey, which taxes its homeowners more than any other state in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relief on the Horizon: New Jersey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In New Jersey, the average house is taxed more than $9,500! That might be changing. The NJ governor just announced StayNJ, a plan to give a break to homeowners aged 65+. Assuming it passes, it\u2019ll take full effect in 2026, and save eligible homeowners up to $6,500 through a tax <em>credit.<\/em> That\u2019s as opposed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weld.gov\/Government\/Departments\/Assessor\/Exemptions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">senior or disabled veteran property tax exemption<\/a>, through which some states will subsidize your property taxes completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u261b<\/em><em>&nbsp;<strong>Property tax exemptions are available to eligible residents of New Hampshire and New York, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington State, as well as in Alaska and Hawaii.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The income ceiling to get the break in New Jersey will be $500,000. Wait, what? That\u2019s a lot of high-income earners getting a break, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which raises a question: Are some states giving breaks to high-income people? Carl Davis and Eli Byerly-Duke, writing for the <a href=\"https:\/\/itep.org\/state-income-tax-subsidies-for-seniors-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy<\/a> earlier this year, asserted that tax breaks for older people, if poorly designed, drain state resources at the expense of others\u2019 economic opportunity. They say tax structures should focus on people\u2019s capacity to pay \u2014 not how old we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the breaks explored below are designed to help homeowners with far lower incomes than the New Jersey plan would allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pennsylvanians Get an Extended Deadline to Apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"274\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pennsylvanians-get-an-extended-deadline-to-apply.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pennsylvanians-get-an-extended-deadline-to-apply.jpg 274w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pennsylvanians-get-an-extended-deadline-to-apply-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a new, extended deadline for older Pennsylvanians and homeowners with disabilities to make their annual application for rent or property tax rebates from what they paid in 2022.

Pennsylvanians aged 65+; surviving spouses aged 50+; and people with disabilities who are at least 18. They can currently get back up to $650. (Supplements automatically boost rebates higher for some applicants.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover,&nbsp;Gov. Josh Shapiro&nbsp;now plans to increase standard rebates to $1,000. Income limits for both renters and homeowners will become $45,000 (to rise in the future with inflation). The<em> current<\/em> income ceiling is $35,000 a year for homeowners and $15,000 annually for renters. (Half of Social Security income and all veterans\u2019 payments won\u2019t count.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This means bigger rebates. And it means more rebates. Some 175,000 new Pennsylvanians will qualify for tax or rent rebates when the new plan becomes effective.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryland Elderly Property Tax Credit<br>Here is Prince George\u2019s County, Maryland\u2019s updated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.princegeorgescountymd.gov\/DocumentCenter\/View\/42412\/CB-029-2022-Property-Tax-Credit-for-Elderly-Individuals-PDF\">Property Tax Credit for Elderly Individuals<\/a>.&nbsp;As of July 2023, Maryland\u2019s giving up to 20% in credits for county property taxes for up to 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible Maryland homeowners aged 65+ may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.princegeorgescountymd.gov\/DocumentCenter\/View\/45501\">apply<\/a> if their home\u2019s assessed value is a half-million dollars or less.
