Council approves abatement-assessment tax freeze for elderly and disabled
Summary
On unanimous vote the council approved an abatement-assessment tax freeze for qualifying elderly and disabled residents; supporting abatement paperwork (No. 2026-0254) is in the city record.
The Colton City Council voted to approve an abatement-assessment tax freeze for elderly and disabled homeowners on May 11. The motion, made by Councilmember Larry Vande Voort and seconded by Julie Lyon, carried with all members voting aye. The meeting packet includes Abatement No. 2026-0254 and supporting county and treasurer notations recommending approval.
Staff noted that some qualifying applicants may have missed statutory filing deadlines but still qualified under the county review; the abatement worksheet in the packet shows a corrected taxable value and an abatement amount ($1,932.39) for the reviewed 2025 levy year. The council directed staff to process qualifying abatements consistent with county recommendations.
