S 1234 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes proportional property tax exemption for honorably discharged veterans having a service-connected disability and requires State to reimburse municipalities for cost of exemption.

This bill authorizes proportional property tax exemptions for New Jersey veterans with service-connected disabilities of 25% or higher, based on their disability percentage (up to 100%). It directly affects honorably discharged veterans with specific disabilities (like paraplegia, blindness, or amputations) and their surviving spouses under defined conditions. Key provisions include a $15,000 cap for partial exemptions and require the state to reimburse municipalities 102% of the tax loss from these exemptions annually. The law amends existing property tax exemption rules and adds new administrative requirements for tax assessors and county boards.
