Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 54:4-8, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 54:4-8.
An application for a homestead property tax reimbursement hereunder shall be filed
with the director annually beginning April 1 and ending October 31 of the year following the year for which the claim is being made and shall reflect
the prerequisites for a homestead property tax reimbursement on December 31 of the
tax year for which the claim is being made; provided, however, that the director
may, by rule, designate a later date as the date by which the application shall be
filed or waive the requirement for filing an annual application for any year or years
subject to any limitations and conditions the director may deem appropriate. The application shall be on a form prescribed by the director and provided for the
use of applicants hereunder. Each applicant making a claim for a homestead property tax reimbursement under this
act shall provide, if required by the director, to the director a copy of his or her
current year property tax bill or current year site fee bill on the homestead constituting
that person's principal residence and a copy of his or her property tax bill for the
base year or site fee bill for the base year on the same homestead, or other equivalent
proof as permitted by the director. It shall be the duty of every eligible claimant to inform the director of any change
in his or her status or homestead which may affect his or her right to continuance
of the homestead property tax reimbursement. If an eligible claimant receives an additional homestead property tax reimbursement
to which the claimant was not entitled or greater than the reimbursement to which
the claimant was entitled, the director shall permit the claimant to enter into an
installment payment agreement for a reasonable period of time that will enable the
claimant to completely satisfy the amount of the reimbursement paid to which the claimant
was not entitled. If the claimant does not enter into an installment payment agreement, the director
may, in addition to all other available legal remedies, offset such amount against
a gross income tax refund or amount due pursuant to P.L.1990, c. 61 .
