The deadline to apply for the Property Tax Reduction Program is April 18.
Bonner and Boundary County residents who have qualified for property tax benefits under the Property Tax Reduction Program (Circuit Breaker) and Veterans Property Tax Benefit are encouraged to apply for these programs before the April 18 deadline.
Due to recent changes in state statute, the income limit for the circuit breaker program has increased from $33,870 to $37,000. In addition, the property tax valuation cap has been increased to $400,000 OR 200% of the median assessed value for properties receiving the homeowner’s exemption in the county.
In recent years some property owners have been dropped from these programs because of income or assessed value changes. With the recent changes, some residents may find they again qualify for relief.
Residents should evaluate their situation and contact their county assessor with questions and to learn more about applying for the programs.
