How to Apply for a Property Tax Reimbursement


Form PTR-1
Residents who were not eligible for the 2007 reimbursement can apply for a 2008 reimbursement by completing and filing Form PTR-1. A copy of the 2007 and 2008 property tax bills and proof of payment must be submitted with the application. Mobile home owners must enclose documentation of annual site fees due and paid. Applicants 65 years of age or older must submit proof of age such as a copy of their birth certificate, driver’s license, or church records. Applicants who are not 65 years of age or older but are receiving Federal Social Security disability benefits must submit a copy of the Social Security Award Letter indicating that they were receiving benefits based on their own social security number. Eligible applicants must file the 2008 Property Tax Reimbursement Application (Form PTR-1) on or before the extended due date of November 2, 2009. The original due date was June 1, 2009.

Form PTR-2
Personalized applications (Form PTR-2) for a 2008 reimbursement are mailed to individuals who received a 2007 reimbursement. This form is preprinted with some of the information provided on an applicant’s base year application to make filing easier. These filers will only have to provide their 2008 income and property tax information. Eligible applicants must file the 2008 Property Tax Reimbursement Application (Form PTR-2) on or before the extended due date of November 2, 2009. The original due date was June 1, 2009.

Verification Forms
Applicants who cannot locate their property tax bills or proof of the amount of property taxes (or mobile home site fees) paid may submit with the reimbursement application a verification form which has been completed and verified by their tax collector or the owner or manager of their mobile home park. Applicants filing Form PTR-1 will use the verification Form PTR-1A (homeowners) or PTR-1B (mobile home owners). Applicants filing Form PTR-2 will use the verification Form PTR-2A or PTR-2B.
