Application Open for Jackson County’s Innovative Senior Property Tax Credit Initiative
Jackson County has introduced a new Senior Property Tax Credit Program aimed at assisting eligible residents with their property tax payments. This initiative, made possible by Senate Bill 190, freezes property tax bills for qualifying seniors. Applications for the program are now open, with approved applicants set to benefit from the tax credit on their bills starting in 2025.
County Executive Frank White, Jr., expressed the county’s commitment to supporting senior residents, emphasizing the program’s importance in providing financial relief and stability. To qualify, residents must meet specific criteria, including eligibility for Social Security retirement benefits, property ownership requirements, and having a primary residence with a market value below $550,000.
