9100 Tax Relief

California taxpayers are provided assistance through a variety of tax relief programs. Additional relief is provided to low-income senior citizens and disabled persons. Tax relief also is provided to individuals who agree to hold their land as open space under the Williamson Act of 1965. This budget also provides payments to cities and counties to help defray revenues lost as a result of tax relief programs.
