Property Tax Postponement Deadline Draws Near

The State Controller’s Property Tax Postponement Program allows homeowners who are seniors, are blind, or have a disability to defer current-year property taxes on their principal residence if they meet certain criteria, including at least 40 percent equity in the home and an annual household income of $49,017 or less (among other requirements).  The deferment of property taxes is secured by a lien against the property which must eventually be repaid.  The deadline to apply for the California Property Tax Postponement (PTP) program for the 2022-2023 tax year is February 10, 2023.

Thank you to the volunteers that make this event possible, to WM for providing the green waste bins and hauling free of charge, and to the County of Nevada for graciously hosting the event.

The event cannot accept dirt, rock, sod, palm leaves, root balls, blackberry, poison oak, scotch broom, or items larger than 4 feet long and 12 inches wide. The event will not be for e-waste or bulky items, but please sign up for E-Alerts on the City website at www.nevadacityca.gov to receive notification for the June event that will include these items in addition to green waste.

The Backstory: The real cost of childcare in California

How California’s subsidy system falls short for families and providers California’s childcare aid misses hundreds of thousands of families who need it. How to find childcare and get help paying for it: A parents’ guide – This San Diego childcare gives kids ‘a higher chance of thriving.’ But California doesn’t pay providers enough to cover their costs could a new San Francisco tax be a solution to the childcare crisis?

Luis Cruz: Welcome to “San Diego News Fix: The Backstory.” California has several subsidized childcare programs that help families pay for childcare and fund many of the state’s tens of thousands of childcare providers. But that aid reaches only a small fraction of families who need it, and many providers say they aren’t paid enough to cover their costs.

Joining us to talk about the real cost of childcare are Union-Tribune education reporter Kristen Taketa, government and watchdog editor Sam Schulz, managing editor Lora Cicalo, and we begin with publisher and editor Jeff Light.
