The program targets seniors, blind residents, and people with disabilities

The PTP Program, administered by the Controller's office, allows qualifying homeowners to postpone current-year property tax payments on their primary residence. Cohen said the program helps eligible Californians manage housing costs while maintaining the stability of homeownership.

Nearly $7.7 million in property taxes were postponed last year

Eligible homeowners deferred almost $7.7 million in residential property taxes during the previous tax year through the program.

Sacramento – September 20, 2026 -- Folding bike maker DAHON has unveiled a new engineering methodology called DAHON-V tech, designed to fix a long-standing problem in the folding bike category: frames that flex, hinges that loosen, and drivetrains that buckle under load.

DAHON tested more than 40 bikes to find what separates a flexy folder from a fast one

The company's R&D team ran comparative tests across competitor and in-house models, measuring frame and seatpost rigidity, overall bike stiffness, and dynamic rocking behavior. Dr. David Hon, Founder and CEO of DAHON, said the resulting DAHON-V tech suite combines physics, computerized finite element analysis (FEA), and strain gauges to test the riding stiffness of bike frames.
