THIS JUST IN – THE ANNUAL EXTENSION OF THE NJ PTR APPLICATION DEADLINE ANNOUNCEMENT

Oops, they did it again!  This just in -

The deadline for filing 2015 Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement) applications has been extended to October 17, 2016.  The original deadline was June 1, 2016.

Information on the 2015 Senior Freeze Program, including the eligibility requirements, is available on the Division of Taxation's website {click here – rdf}.”

This happens every year.  The statutory deadline for submitting the PTR (Property Tax Reimbursement or “Senior Freeze”) application forms is June 1st.  But each and every year the deadline is extended, sometimes more than once, to eventually the middle or end of October.

At least this year they did not wait until the very last minute to announce the extension.

I have already finished all but two of the 2015 PTR applications for my clients.

No word yet, however, whether the DFBs in Trenton (clean version is damned fool bureaucrats) will once again reduce the income threshold for 2015 to $70,000 to screw some senior or disabled homeowners out of their reimbursement check in order to balance the budget.  We won’t know that until at least the end of June.
