A 1483 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides temporary gross income tax credit to first time home buyers and seniors.

This bill provides a temporary tax credit for New Jersey residents who are either first-time homebuyers (purchasing a home in 2019, 2020, or 2021) or seniors aged 65+ during the tax year. Eligible taxpayers receive a credit equal to 25% of their property taxes paid on their primary home, capped at $2,500 per year. The credit reduces income tax liability, and any unused portion is refunded directly to the taxpayer. The credit applies only for tax years 2019 through 2021, offering short-term relief for qualifying homeowners.
