The Senior Property Tax Credit Program in Jackson County allows eligible residents to freeze a residential property tax bill. 

Those who submit applications and are approved will see the tax credit benefit on their 2025 tax bill.

State law established the guidelines for the county program, including the following:

1. Eligibility Criteria: The program is available to Jackson County residents who are eligible for Social Security retirement benefits and meet specific property ownership requirements.
2. Tax Credit Amount: The year an application is approved sets the base amount for the property tax bill freeze. This base amount is what an individual will pay moving forward unless there is a change in eligibility.
3. One Primary Residence: Applicants can only claim one primary residence. The primary residence must be occupied by the eligible resident.
4. Market Value Maximum: The market value of the property must be less than $550,000 to be eligible for the program in accordance with a law passed by the Jackson County Legislature.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  December 31st of each year.

Once approved, participants will be required to renew their application to stay in the program. Renewal applications are due each year by August 31.
