Property Tax Relief Programs
The Property Tax Reimbursement Program (Senior Freeze) reimburses eligible senior citizens and disabled persons for property tax increases. The amount of the reimbursement is the difference between the amount of property taxes that were due and paid for the “base year” (the first year that you met all the eligibility requirements) and the amount due and paid for the current year for which you are applying for the reimbursement, provided the amount paid for the current year was greater. You must meet all the eligibility requirements for the base year and for each succeeding year, up to and including the current year to qualify for the reimbursement.
For more information on The Property Tax Reimbursement Program call the Property Tax Reimbursement Hotline at 1-800-882-6597 to have one mailed to you or click link http://state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/ptr/
