About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Senior Citizen / Disabled Property Tax Relief in its Washington, DC research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

DC's Senior Citizen/Disabled Property Tax Relief reduces a qualified homeowner's annual property tax bill by 50%. Applicants must own at least 50% of the property, be a DC resident, be age 65+ or certified disabled, and have total household income below $159,750 (TY2023 threshold; updated annually). Applies in addition to the Homestead Deduction.

Median DC property tax bill for senior homeowner is roughly $3,000-$5,000/yr; 50% relief ≈ $1,500-$2,500 estimated savings.

Each program administrator alone decides its combination rules. The Grant Map has not verified those rules.
