Some states do offer the equivalent of a "discount". The elderly (typically defined as those 65 and over) can be offered various exemptions, reductions, even property tax assessment freezes.
Your best bet is to go to your town hall and inquire about them. A local senior citizen center can be of great help, as well as putting in a phone call to a real estate attorney or realtor.

No, property taxes are based on a number of factors and very by state depending the state's, city's and county's taxing structure. There is no such thing as a senior citizen's discount on property taxes. Call your local senior citizens's legal aid or state bar of Texas to help you sift through property tax issues.
