For tax year 2003, the director shall determine the amount of the homestead rebate that shall be paid to each claimant pursuant to P.L.1990, c.61 (C.54:4-8.57 et al.), and P.L.1999, c.63 (C.54:4-8.58a et al.), as amended by P.L.2004, c.40, based upon the information provided by the individual applicant in the application for either a NJ SAVER rebate or for a homestead rebate, or from any other information as may be available to the director in order that each individual applicant shall be paid the homestead rebate that may be allowed to the claimant pursuant to sections 3 through 5 of P.L.1990, c.61 (C.54:4-8.59 through 54:4-8.61), as the director determines is appropriate. b. (1) For tax year 2003, a resident of this State who has paid property taxes for the tax year on a homestead that is owned as such, who has filed an application for an NJ SAVER rebate pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1999, c.63 (C.54:4-8.58a et al.), or pursuant to that act as amended and supplemented by P.L.2004, c.40, and who meets the prerequisites for an NJ SAVER rebate at 12:01 A.M. on October 1, 2003 for that tax year, shall be considered to have applied for a homestead rebate and shall be allowed a homestead rebate instead of an NJ SAVER rebate for that tax year pursuant to P.L.1990, c.61 (C.54:4-8.57 et al.), and P.L.1999, c.63 (C.54:4-8.58a et al.), as amended by P.L.2004, c.40. An application for an NJ SAVER rebate shall be allowed as a homestead rebate for a homestead the title to which is held by a partnership, to the extent of the applicant's interest as a partner therein, and by a guardian, trustee, committee, conservator or other fiduciary for any individual who would otherwise be eligible for an NJ SAVER rebate. An application for an NJ SAVER rebate shall not be allowed for a homestead, the title to which is held partially or entirely by a corporate entity of any type, except as otherwise specifically allowed for applications from residents of properties owned by continuing care retirement community, cooperative or mutual housing corporations. (2) For tax year 2004 and tax year 2005, any rebates applied for and paid pursuant to P.L.1990, c.61 (C.54:4-8.57 et al.), and P.L.1999, c.63 (C.54:4-8.58a et al.), as amended and supplemented by P.L.2004, c.40, shall be homestead rebates. (3) For tax year 2006 and for tax years thereafter, any homestead benefit applied for and provided pursuant to this act shall be a rebate or credit, as annually determined by the Director of the Division of Taxation. (4) After the effective date of P.L.2024, c.88 (C.54:4-8.75p1 et al.), and with respect to the payment of ANCHOR rebates to eligible claimants, payments to eligible claimants in calendar year 2026 shall be based on property taxes billed for tax year 2025. Thereafter, payments to eligible claimants in any succeeding benefit year shall be based on the immediately preceding tax year. L.1999, c.63, s.3; amended 2004, c.40, s.3; 2007, c.62, s.22; 2024, c.88, s.14.
