Tax Deferral Rip-Off

Letter writer Douglas Keller feels the property tax deferral program is a “rip-off” of the older homeowners (April 28).

Most of these “older homeowners” (myself included) have equities in their homes of $100,000 or more. They should not expect their taxes to be paid by the rest of the taxpayers. It is only fair that the unpaid taxes, plus interest, be repaid upon the sale of the home or upon the death of the homeowner.

The homeowners’ heirs should not receive a windfall at the expense of the taxpayers.
