Deferrals for Seniors

The Seniors Property Tax Deferral Program enables eligible senior homeowners to defer all or part of their property taxes through a low-interest home equity loan, provided by the Government of Alberta.

How It Works

If you qualify, the Alberta Government will pay your residential property taxes directly to your municipality on your behalf. You repay the loan, with interest, when you sell the home (or sooner, if you wish).

Eligibility

To qualify for the Seniors Property Tax Deferral Program, you must:

• Be 65 years or older.
• Be an Alberta resident.
• Own a residential property in Alberta.
• Have a minimum of 25 per cent equity in your home.
