If you're an older adult, the Circuit Breaker Tax Credit program can free you from having to pay certain increases in your property taxes. It limits how much your home’s assessed (estimated) value can go up each year. The assessed value is the dollar amount used to decide how much you will have to pay in property taxes. This value can only increase by 2% over the previous year’s tax payment.
