tax relief for
older people
SACRAMENTO — Property
tax relief payments for more
than 240,000 qualified older
homeowners in California will
"at long last" be on "more than
just a token basis" during 197273, State Controller Hugh Flournoy said Saturday.
"Broadened provisions of the
Senior Citizens Property Tax
Relief Act probably will increase
the number of recipients from
56,000 to 240,000, and the total
payments from $8 million to $56
million," Flournoy said.
"This means that four times
as many claimants will benefit
and that the per-claimant share
will increase from about $148
to over $233. This gets to the
real heart of property tax relief
for those who are on fixed incomes.
"At long last, property tax
relief for low income older
home-owners is on more than
just a token basis. It has
now reached a level which will
make it possible for many of
these people to remain in their
homes."
Since the 1967 Legislature
first authorized the Senior Citizens Property ‘lax Assistance
program, there has been over
$32.5 million paid to elegible
homeowners," the Controller
said. "It is significant that the
new program will be 75 percent
greater than that total in its
first year."
Voters should
inform about
address change :
Registered voters who have
moved or whose addresses have
been altered in any way since
they registered are urged to
make the proper corrections
at the office of the county clerk
in the court house.
The majority of voters who
failed to receive sample ballots in the primary election
did not get them because their
mailing addresses are incorrect in the file, Melba Polglase
deputy county clerk said. [If
these people, or others with
changed addresses, are to receive sample ballots for the
coming November election addresses must be corrected, she
stressed.
The planning department is in
the midst of renaming and renumbering some streets. Property owners have received official notice of changes. But
renters probably have not received such notice. Mrs, Polglase urges voters in areas
where changes have been made
to notify the clerk's office if
they have not done so.
Sit back and let classified ads do the selling, renting or buying
for you.
