Here’s a reminder that applications for the City’s tax deferral program are due on Monday, April 2. Residents may be eligible if they make less than $57,000 per year, if they are willing to volunteer, or if they meet other qualifications. The programs allow residents to delay paying taxes and/or to pay less in taxes. More information can be found by calling the City at 617-625-6600 x3522 or by visiting this website www.somervillema.gov/seniortaxhelp.

Take a look as well at a webpage that Alderman At-Large Stephanie Hirsch put together, based on information from the Assessing Office. Residents can check their eligibility and see how much they can save on annual expenses: www.somervilletogether.com/taxdeferral. “In future years, I hope that we can expand this program so that more seniors and other residents of different income levels and ages can qualify for a deferral program,” said Alderman Hirsch.
