(a) A municipality may by ordinance provide for the deferral of all taxes on property that is owned, in whole or in part, by an individual
(1) who occupies and has occupied the property for at least 10 consecutive years as the individual's primary residence; and
(2) whose income is at or below federal poverty guidelines for the state set by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
(b) An individual must apply for each year that a deferral is sought and supply proof of eligibility for the deferral for that year in accordance with requirements set out in the ordinance that authorizes the deferral. Taxes for a year that are deferred do not become payable until ownership of the property is transferred from the individual who obtained the deferral. A municipality that provides for a deferral of property taxes under this subsection may not impose interest on the taxes deferred between the time the deferral is granted and the time the taxes become payable.
