Modifies Stay NJ property tax credit program eligibility criteria to include certain claimants who relocate from homestead during tax year.
S 3312 amends New Jersey's Stay NJ property tax credit program to allow seniors who move to a new primary home within the state during a tax year to still qualify for the credit. The bill changes eligibility rules to include claimants who relocate from one primary home to another within New Jersey during the prior tax year, as long as they owned a primary home (both the old and new) for the entire tax year and meet other requirements like being 65+ and having income under $500,000. This adjustment ensures that seniors who move due to circumstances like downsizing or family care can maintain eligibility without losing the credit. The bill does not alter the existing age, income, or residency criteria for the program.
