Deductions & credits

We need more information because your question is not making your situation clear.   Are you a tenant in an apartment that you rent?  If so, how have you determined that you paid over $2000 in property taxes?   Or do you own a condo that you are calling an apartment?   Or are you asking about a state credit for rent?

 

You do not "reimburse" property tax you paid.    If you have enough actual itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction, then you can enter them on your tax return on Schedule A---itemized deductions include such things as mortgage interest, property tax, sales tax, medical expenses, charity donations.    Unless your itemized deductions exceed your standard deduction, they have no effect on your tax due or refund.
