NJ Homestead Rebate Update

The Division of Taxation mailed about 1.1million Homestead Rebate Checks to homeowners on September 15. Eligible Homeowners who are under age 65 and not blind or disabled and who filed their applications by August 15 can expect to receive their 2006 rebate checks this week.
Rebates for applicants who filed between August 15 and the extended deadline of October 31, 2007, will be issued as quickly as possible. Homestead Rebate Checks were mailed in early August to eligible senior and disabled homeowners, as well as to all eligible tenants.
Homeowners and tenants who still have not yet applied for the rebate have until October 31, 2007, to file their applications.
Information about all the property tax relief programs can be found on the Division’s Web Site at: www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/relief.htm.
