The govt. can always take it from you for not paying property taxes. So if you are an elderly person living on a fixed income and can't pay your property tax...doesn't matter if you paid off your mortgage 20 years ago and have lived in "your" home all your life. The govt. is going to TAKE it.

if you can't pay your electricity bill the electric company will turn off the service. if you buying a car and stop paying with one month left they will repo it. property tax is a tax that everyone who owns property has to pay for doesn't matter if you have a mortgage or not. if you can't afford to pay the property tax bill then sell your house and rent. seems pretty simple to me, it's called life, you live with in your means.
