I encourage you to read this webpage about Jersey City abatements, this New Jersey state webpage on whether or not PILOT payment (payments in lieu of tax) are considered property taxes and therefore deductible (No and No), and just what a PILOT program is in New Jersey.
The takeaway is that Tax is deductible but PILOT payments are not. Armed with this information, you may want to contact your mortgage company and confirm what is tax and what is PILOT (and who is paying your PILOT)?
