Do taxpayers have to pay property taxes after age sixty five?

Yes, property owners who are aged 65 and older are required to pay property taxes. However, many states set limits on the amount of property taxes that senior citizens (generally defined and 65 and over) pay. Such limitations are typically called senior citizen tax abatement or senior citizen tax relief. In some states, the amount of abatement or relief depends on household income and the valuation of all assets other than your principla residence. Because property tax laws vary from state to state, you should contact your local assessor or tax collector about tax relief for senior citizens in your community.
