Renter instructions for using 2000 Form CRP

Purpose of CRP

Qualified renters may apply for a refund

based on property taxes paid on their

principal place of residence. For pur-

poses of the property tax refund, 19

percent of the rent you paid during the

year is considered the portion paid for

property tax.

Your landlord is required to give you a

completed

Certificate of Rent Paid,

Form

You will need this CRP if you apply for

a property tax refund.
