A 151 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits exemption of school purposes property taxes under "Long Term Tax Exemption Law."

This bill prohibits urban renewal projects from claiming property tax exemptions for school purposes on rehabilitation or improvements in redevelopment projects after the bill's effective date. It amends financial agreement requirements to mandate that municipalities include specific findings about tax exemption provisions and annual service charges in contracts with urban renewal entities. The bill directly affects housing and redevelopment projects that previously could have avoided school property taxes through long-term tax exemptions. This policy change ensures school property taxes are paid on these projects, maintaining local school funding.
