Bill Summary
This bill would require a municipality to issue a property tax refund to a property owner who overpays his or her property taxes. The New Jersey Statutes currently permit, but do not require, a municipality to make such a refund to a property taxpayer under these circumstances. The bill also limits the amount of the refund to the amount of excess taxes paid in the tax year in which the governing body has been notified by the taxpayer of the error, and the three tax years immediately prior.
