Bill > A296

Introduced Session

This bill would change the residency requirements for the homestead property tax reimbursement program, commonly known as the "senior freeze" program, which reimburses eligible senior citizens and disabled persons for property tax or mobile home park site fee increases on their principal residence. Currently, to be eligible for the program, a senior citizen or disabled person is required to have maintained a principal residence in New Jersey for at least ten consecutive years, at least three of which are as a homeowner. The bill changes this requirement by extending eligibility to senior citizens and disabled persons who have continuously maintained a principal residence in New Jersey as a homeowner for the immediately preceding three years.
