A look at the campaign's proposal to help homeowners facing delinquent property taxes stay in their homes through a fair, penalty-free repayment approach.

For many families, falling behind on property taxes can put their home at risk — even when they are working hard to catch up. The Evans campaign believes the process should focus on helping homeowners succeed, not on displacement.

The campaign proposes exploring a five-year, penalty-free repayment approach after the County covers an eligible delinquent tax obligation, giving families a realistic path to remain in their homes.

The campaign emphasizes that this is a proposal, not current law. Specific terms would be subject to legal review, budget analysis, and approval through the appropriate governmental process.
