Can You Deduct Property Taxes on Your Tax Return?

News RoomBy News RoomJuly 30, 20250 ViewsNo Comments

When tax season rolls around, homeowners often wonder if property taxes are deductible on their tax returns. The answer is yes—you can deduct property taxes on your tax return. In fact, property tax deductions remain one of the valuable benefits of homeownership under current tax law. These deductions allow you to reduce your taxable income by the amount you have paid in property taxes throughout the year. This could result in significant savings. However, the rules surrounding property tax deductions have evolved in recent years. Not all property-related expenses qualify, and there are important limitations to understand.

Before you file your taxes, consider working with a financial advisor to ensure that your personal finances are in order.

Understanding the Property Tax Deduction

Homeowners who pay property taxes and itemize deductions on their federal tax returns can claim this deduction. This includes owners of single-family homes, condominiums, co-ops, mobile homes and even vacant land (for homeowners who plan to build a home on it). However, if your lender pays your property taxes through an escrow account, you can only deduct the amount paid to the taxing authority during the year.

Lastly, timing your property tax payments strategically can help maximize your deduction. If you are close to the SALT cap limit, consider whether prepaying or delaying property tax payments between tax years might be beneficial. Always keep detailed records of your property tax payments, including statements from your local tax authority and mortgage lender.
