Get Ptr 1a Form 2009-2024

Property Tax Reimbursement Applicants must be New Jersey residents for at least 10 years, and lived in the home for which reimbursement is claimed for the last 3 years, and must meet certain income limits.

A key provision of the envisioned program is the funding of tax credits that would be used to cut property taxes in half for many homeowners ages 65 and older, up to a maximum of $6,500 annually. Right now, senior homeowners making up to $500,000 annually would be eligible for the promised benefits.

Payments will be issued on a rolling basis. Most applicants can expect to receive their payment approximately 90 days after filing the application, unless we request additional information to process your claim.
