The Senior Citizen Real Estate Tax Deferral Program allows qualified senior citizens to defer part or all of the property taxes on their personal residence. It’s a form of a loan with a six percent interest rate which is to be repaid after the taxpayer’s death or at the time the property is sold. Contact the Kane County Treasurer for more information.

Circuit Breaker Grants provide low-income senior citizens and disabled citizens yearly grants to help pay property taxes. To apply, you need to complete Form IL-1363. You may get this form online at www.cbrx.il.gov/aging or call 1-800-624-2459.
