ACR 100 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment permitting certain veterans and their surviving spouses to receive enhanced homestead rebate amounts similar to the homestead rebate amounts allowed for senior and disabled residents.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to expand New Jersey's homestead property tax rebate program. It would allow honorably discharged veterans who served in wartime or emergencies, plus their unmarried surviving spouses (including spouses of veterans who died while on active duty), to receive the same larger rebate currently available to seniors (65+) and disabled residents. The change would extend eligibility to approximately 330,000 veterans and surviving spouses who currently qualify only for a $50 property tax deduction. The amendment requires voter approval before implementing this expanded rebate program.
