When Is The Deadline To Apply For A Property Tax Freeze In East Windsor?

East Windsor, NJ -- The deadline for seniors in East Windsor looking for a “property tax freeze” to apply is Oct. 17, according to township officials.

Homeowners who were 65 or older or 100% disabled in 2015 and received Federal Social Security Disability benefits may be eligible for this program.
