What is a property tax refund?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
A property tax refund occurs when you have overpaid your property taxes. This can happen if you successfully appeal your assessment and the reduced value is applied retroactively, if there was a calculation error by the tax office, or if you qualified for an exemption that was applied late. The refund is typically issued as a credit toward future taxes or a check from the municipality.
Why It Matters
If you believe you have overpaid, you are entitled to a refund. Knowing the process helps you recover money that is rightfully yours.
