Property tax deferral loans; purpose. The legislature finds that older individuals who have resided in their homes for a substantial period of time have found it difficult to remain in their own homes because their incomes are insufficient to cover property taxes, which have risen as the value of their homes has increased. The legislature finds that it is in the public interest and that it serves a statewide public purpose to create a program whereby lien-creating loans are made to low- and moderate-income elderly homeowners for the purpose, and only for the purpose, of enabling individuals to pay local, general property taxes and special assessments on their homes so that more of these individuals can remain in their homes.
