Bill Summary
This bill would prohibit a person from receiving a homestead rebate or credit, or a property tax benefit under the ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program, during any calendar year in which the person is not a resident of the State. Currently, the property tax benefits authorized under the "Homestead Property Tax Credit Act" are issued through the ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program. Under this program, property tax rebates are issued to eligible claimants based on property taxes paid in a previous calendar year. To receive an ANCHOR property tax rebate, a person is only required to be a State resident during the calendar year for which the rebate is issued, provided that the person also meets all other eligibility requirements. This bill requires the recipient of a ANCHOR property tax rebate to be a State resident during the calendar year in which the rebate is paid, as well as the calendar year for which the rebate is issued. This requirement would apply to any homestead rebate or credit authorized under the "Homestead Property Tax Credit Act," including benefits issued under the ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program.
AI Summary
This bill requires that individuals must be residents of the state during the calendar year in which a homestead property tax rebate or credit, or a property tax benefit under the ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program, is to be paid, in order to receive it. Previously, eligibility for these benefits, which are intended to provide relief on property taxes paid, primarily required residency in the year for which the taxes were assessed, not necessarily the year the benefit was disbursed. The ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program is the mechanism through which these property tax rebates are currently issued.
