ACR 104 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to increase annual income limitation for senior and disabled citizens' $250 property tax deduction and bases future annual limitations on annual CPI changes.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to increase the income limit for New Jersey seniors and disabled homeowners to qualify for a $250 annual property tax deduction. Currently capped at $10,000 annually (unchanged since 1983), the limit would rise to $20,000 starting in 2015, with future adjustments tied to annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) changes. The change would expand eligibility to more low-to-moderate-income residents who own homes, while maintaining the fixed $250 deduction amount. The amendment requires voter approval and would be implemented through subsequent legislation defining CPI adjustments.
