Homeowner's or Renter's Exemption Filing Assistance

The state budget for the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 fiscal years does not include funding for the Homeowner and Renter Assistance Program (HRA). Since there is no funding for this program, we cannot process claims for these fiscal years.

On February 20, 2009, the Governor signed Senate Bill X3 8, which immediately suspends the Senior Citizen’s Property Tax Deferral Program. This legislation prohibits the filing for property tax postponement and prohibits the Controller for accepting claims filed after February 20, 2009. As a result of the program suspension, the Controller will no longer accept claims for property tax postponement pending modification or repeal of this new law.
