A 4690 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Extends eligibility for veterans' property tax deduction and disabled veterans' property tax exemption to certain veterans released under other than honorable circumstances.

This bill expands property tax benefits in New Jersey to include veterans who were discharged under other than honorable circumstances, provided they have a service-connected disability. It amends existing laws to allow these veterans to qualify for property tax deductions and exemptions that were previously limited to those with honorable discharges. The key provision removes the requirement for an honorable discharge status while maintaining the disability requirements, ensuring that veterans with qualifying injuries can access financial relief on their primary residences. The legislation also extends these benefits to surviving spouses of eligible veterans who died while serving.
