Deductions & credits

I will repeat my comment which didn't get posted for some reason.    OK if I don't include this in Other Income, how should I handle it?   When Itemizing Deductions, should I reduce the amount of property taxes paid by the amount of this check.
For example:   If I paid $6000 in properties in 2017, and then received the tax relief check from NJ for $200, should the
amount of prop. taxes taken as a deduction be $5800?

I have looked and found no instructions on how this should be handled.   Thanks
