LOW INCOME SENIOR CITIZEN EXEMPTION

LOW INCOME SENIOR CITIZEN EXEMPTION

In order to provide tax relief to those members of the Moraga community most in need, any parcel owned and occupied by a low-income person 65 years of age or older shall be exempt from the Tax upon application to the District. The exemption shall be available annually pursuant to procedures to be prescribed by the Governing Board or otherwise as required by law or by the Contra Costa County Tax Collector. A “low-income person” is a member of a “very low income household” as defined by California Health and Safety Code Section 50105. Under current law, this means any household whose income does not exceed 50 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size and revised annually.
