Have your mom go to her town office, city hall or talk to the Town Clerk. She needs to tell them that she wants to request a tax abatement because she can't pay her property taxes. She should explain why. Usually a person will have to ask for the abatement in writing, and will also have to give information about their financial situation that shows they can't pay. The person requesting the abatement may also have to go to the Board meeting to make their request in person.

I would have your Mom go to the office that distributes and collects property taxes and let them know she is on disability and can they help her with her hardship. I know my local city and county work with people who are on fixed incomes and disabled, they give them a financial break of some sort. I would have her start there, there are many outlets for paying property taxes for the disabled.

Does anybody know if you can make pymts towards your personal property taxes? My problem is I can't pay the large amt all at once...mine is on cars though, not my house.
