Do senior citizens pay property taxes and at what age do you stop paying?

Seniors do pay property taxes in Illinois.

There is no age where property taxes automatically stop.

However, seniors may qualify for:

• Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption

• Senior Freeze Exemption

• Property tax assistance programs

These programs reduce taxes but do not eliminate them entirely.

If you are unsure what property tax breaks for seniors apply to you, Cook County Tax Appeals can review your case.
