How are they limited to a certain amount and can't go up? Is this a program in your state? I have a relative who is getting ready to have to sell the house they've owned for 20+ years because her husband is 100% disabled (not a veteran, though) and they can't afford the property tax anymore. Any info would be appreciated.
Washington State. Yeah. I was just reading about their programs a little while ago. Dammit. They live in one of the worst states in the union, unfortunately. I wish they lived in WA. Ok, thanks for the info. And good luck with your situation, fren.
You too! WA is very lefty but there's a strong holdout of veterans and active duty military. The scenery is beautiful, the politics are hideous and fraudulent.
I live in Mo and we have what is called circuit breaker for disabled people and seniors. It helps tremendously. The taxes are still there but they can get a refund of a certain amount depending on the income.

This whole system is just horrible. Property tax and income tax are an abomination.
