As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The enclosed space of ground and buildings immediately surrounding
the dwelling house and enjoyed with it for its more convenient occupation.
In no event shall the "curtilage" exceed the minimum lot size in the
zone in which the dwelling house and associate property are located.
Any one-family building or structure or unit in a horizontal
property regime or condominium or multiple-family building or structure
on that portion occupied by the claimant as his legal residence, including
any outhouses or appurtenances used for the dwelling's fair enjoyment.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.30, the dwelling house and curtilage
whereupon the same is erected, of a 100% disabled veteran (as defined
in N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.30) shall be exempt from taxation on proper claim
made therefor. A refund of property taxes pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.32
shall be granted provided that the applicant submits a complete application
to the Tax Assessor as required by N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.30. A retroactive
refund of property taxes as set forth in N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.32 shall
be limited to the date of the submission of a proper claim to the
Tax Assessor as required by N.J.S.A. 54: 4-3.30.
