Continues tax exempt status of certain real property owned by disabled veterans during reconstruction of homes destroyed by flood, storm, or other act of God.
This bill maintains the property tax exemption for homes owned by New Jersey disabled veterans with a 100% service-connected disability, even after the home is destroyed by a flood, storm, or other natural disaster. The exemption continues as long as the veteran begins substantial rebuilding or repairs within four years of the destruction. It directly affects disabled veterans who lost their tax-exempt status when their homes were damaged by events like Superstorm Sandy, ensuring they retain the exemption during reconstruction. The change modifies existing law to clarify that the tax-exempt status applies to the land and rebuilt home, not just the original structure.
