Property tax credit without paying the tax??

[Freedonia]

Can someone take the Homestead Property Tax Credit for 2009 when the taxes were not paid in 2009? (Taxes are delinquent now and there was no application for deferment made)

In Texas, you can make a claim for the exemption for the previous three years.

Michigan may permit you to do that, too.

Most states have similar policies.

It is up to the taxing authority, but they usually work with you to keep your property.

They don't want property, they want your tax money.


Call them (or visit them) and ask how they can help you make things right.
