S 263 New Jersey Senate · 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 property tax deduction from $10,000 to $15,000. It directly affects eligible homeowners and tenants who meet the income threshold and own or reside in their primary home. The deduction amount remains capped at $250 annually, regardless of income level, and does not replace other exemptions like veterans' deductions. The change requires voter approval of a constitutional amendment before taking effect, though the bill itself becomes operative immediately upon passage.
