For tax year 2018 and beyond State, Local, property and Sales Tax (SALT) deduction are limited to $10,000 ($5,000 if Married Filing Separately.  So if you prepay the 2019 property tax in 2018 and that payment increases your total SALT deductions to greater than $10,000 then only $10,000 can be deducted.
