New Jersey § 54:4-8

§ 54:4-8.

When title to a homestead as to which a homestead property tax reimbursement is claimed

is held by an eligible claimant and another or others, either as tenants in common

or as joint tenants, the eligible claimant shall not be allowed a homestead property

tax reimbursement in an amount in excess of his or her proportionate share of the

taxes assessed against the homestead, which proportionate share, for the purposes

of this act, shall be deemed to be equal to that of each of the other tenants, unless

it is shown that the interests in question are not equal, in which event the eligible

claimant's proportionate share shall be as shown. Nothing herein shall preclude more than one tenant, whether title be held in common

or joint tenancy, from claiming a homestead property tax reimbursement from the taxes

assessed against the property so held, but no more than the equivalent of one full

homestead property tax reimbursement in regard to such homestead shall be allowed

in any year. In any case in which the eligible claimants cannot agree as to the apportionment

thereof, such homestead property tax reimbursement shall be apportioned between or

among them in proportion to their interest. Property held by husband and wife, as tenants by the entirety, shall be deemed wholly

owned by each tenant, but no more than one full homestead property tax reimbursement

in regard to such homestead shall be allowed in any year. Right to claim a homestead property tax reimbursement hereunder shall extend to

a homestead the title to which is held by a partnership, to the extent of the eligible

claimant's interest as a partner therein, and by a guardian, trustee, committee, conservator

or other fiduciary for any person who would otherwise be entitled to claim such homestead

property tax reimbursement hereunder, but not to a homestead the title to which is

held by a corporation; except that a residential shareholder in a cooperative or

mutual housing corporation shall be entitled to claim a homestead property tax reimbursement

if he or she is otherwise eligible to receive it, to the extent of the proportionate

share of the taxes assessed against the homestead of the corporation, or any other

entity holding title, attributable to his or her unit therein. No eligible claimant shall be entitled to payment under this act for a homestead

property tax reimbursement on more than one homestead within the State in the same

tax year.
