County Elderly Tax Match Program
Summary
The county is adding a $50 match to the state's property tax relief for low-income elderly residents, helping roughly 925 households. The sponsor hopes to grow it to $100 in future years, but the state amount won't be known until September, so a flat rate was chosen for easier budgeting.
