Senior Freeze Application Deadline Approaching![]()
The deadline for the Property Tax Reimbursement program known as Senior Freeze is approaching on October 31, 2023. Senior Freeze lets seniors “freeze” their property taxes at the amount when they apply and receive a reimbursement check in following years for the difference between the “frozen” year and what they pay each new tax year. ![]()
If you filed an application for Senior Freeze last year and were approved, you should receive a form, PTR-2, which the Division of Taxation sends through the mail to inform current program participants to verify their income. If you have not received your PTR-2 form, or you need an application to apply for Senior Freeze for the first time, 2022 Form PTR-1, please call the Legislative District 11 Senate office at (732) 695-3371 and the staff will assist you in obtaining the form.
