The following information is provided by the state Division of Taxation.
The Division of Taxation mailed 2014 Property Tax Reimbursement (PTR) applications in February, and many eligible residents still need time to file. Eligible residents who have not yet filed should complete and mail their PTR applications as soon as they can-even though the filing deadline has been extended.
Reimbursement checks for eligible senior and disabled residents who file their 2014 applications by the original June 1 deadline are scheduled to be mailed in mid-July. Checks for eligible applicants who file 2014 applications after June 1 will be processed and delivered as quickly as possible thereafter.
The Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement) Program is distinct from the State's other property tax relief programs, with its own eligibility requirements and applications. Applicants can receive benefits under the Senior Freeze Program and any of the State's other property tax relief programs for which they qualify.
However, the total amount of property tax relief benefits received cannot exceed the amount of property taxes paid on their principal residence for the same year.
