If a timely mailed property tax credit or rent reimbursement claim is not received by the county treasurer or the department of revenue or is received after the June 1 filing deadline, the claim will be considered to have been timely filed if the claimant complies with the provisions of Iowa Code section 622.105. The county treasurer may extend the time for filing a claim for property tax credit through September 30 of the same year. The director may also extend the filing deadline for property tax credit and rent reimbursement claims through December 31 of the following year. Late property tax credit claims will be reimbursed by the director directly to the claimant upon proof of tax payment.
In the case of a claim for property tax credit, the claimant must own and occupy the homestead at the time the claim for credit is filed or if a late claim, own and occupy the homestead on June 1 of the claim year.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 425.20 as amended by 1996 Iowa Acts, chapter 1167.
