A 1795 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Increases annual income limitation to receive senior and disabled citizens' property tax deduction to $15,000.

This bill increases the annual income limit for New Jersey seniors (65+) and permanently disabled residents to qualify for a $250 property tax deduction from $10,000 to $15,000. It directly affects eligible homeowners aged 65+ or disabled individuals with household incomes under $15,000 who own or rent their primary residence. The key change is raising the income threshold while keeping the maximum deduction amount fixed at $250 per year. The bill requires voter approval of a constitutional amendment before taking effect.
