About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Somerville Senior/Disabled Property Tax Deferral in its Somerville, MA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Allows eligible seniors (65+) and disabled homeowners to defer payment of property taxes. Deferred taxes become a lien on the property, repaid when the home is sold or transferred. Available to those with limited income and at least 20% home equity.
