Are You Eligible for NJ Senior Freeze Property Tax Reimbursement?
(We think you might be!)
The Senior Freeze is a NJ property tax reimbursement program due on 10/31 each year for all eligible applicants. Individuals who meet the annual income limit, age or disability requirement, and residency requirements can have some of their paid property taxes refunded.
Starting with the 2023 filing season (due 10/31/24), NJ has made eligibility significantly more accessible:
- Annual Income: (Limits for 2023 & 2022 both must be met)
- 2023 Limit: $150,000 or less
- 2022 Limit: $99,735 or less
- Applicants must be 65 or older as of 12/31/22 to be eligible for the 2023 filing season OR receiving federal social security disability payments from 12/31/22 to 12/31/23
- Must have owned and lived in the same NJ home for 3 consecutive years. (The 10-year NJ residency requirement has been eliminated as of the 2023 filing season)
