Also, you should have your entire payment back if you fulfilled these requirements but paid less than $1,250 last 2021. The $1,250 limit is for single taxpayers. Married couples are eligible for twice the given limit.
Homeowners are qualified for up to $675 a year for the past two years of property taxes for their primary residence. If you paid less than the said amount from both years, you are eligible for a refund. Property tax payments are paid to county treasurers two times a year, with the payments due for May and November.
