Delaware County Council instituted a tax deferral program to allow income-eligible property owners to defer the increase in county taxes. The move comes after county council approved a 23% property tax increase in December. The tax deferral program applies to the increase in the county portion of the real estate tax only. The amount deferred becomes a lien upon the property. There is no cost for residents to apply, but household income must be $46,520 or less and the applicant must have owned and occupied the property as a primary residence for at least 12 months.
