Homestead Rebate vs. Senior Freeze
Q. What’s the difference between the Homestead Rebate and the Senior Freeze? I received a property tax credit for my last quarter’s taxes through the Homestead Rebate program. I qualify for the Senior Freeze program and I’m not certain if I should apply.
— Senior
A. Apply away.
If you qualify for both programs, you can get benefits from both.
The Senior Freeze program offers a property tax reimbursement to eligible seniors — 65 and older — or disabled individuals, said Cynthia Fusillo. a certified public accountant with Lassus Wherley in New Providence.
