A 935 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Property Tax Study Commission" to examine New Jersey's property tax structure and develop recommendations for reducing residential property tax burden.

This bill establishes a 15-member "Property Tax Study Commission" to examine New Jersey's property tax system and develop recommendations for reducing residential property tax burdens. The commission, including state officials and appointed public members with tax/finance expertise, must submit an interim report within 9 months and a final report within 12 months. Its recommendations must be revenue-neutral (not increasing or decreasing overall state revenue), address inequities, and explore alternatives to reduce local government reliance on property taxes. The final report will include specific legislative proposals and any constitutional changes needed, with annual follow-up reports for five years after the final report is issued. The bill directly affects all New Jersey homeowners and local governments by initiating a formal review of property tax policy.
