Stay NJ Property Tax Credit Program

About the Stay NJ Property Tax Credit Program

Governor Phil Murphy signed the Stay NJ Act (P.L. 2023, CH. 75) into law in July of 2023, authorizing the creation of the Stay NJ Task Force. The Task Force is charged with putting forth recommendations on how to implement the new Stay NJ property tax relief program, restructure and consolidate the various current property tax relief programs, and identify what investments are necessary to implement the recommendations.

The Board held its first meeting in December of 2023 with a goal of completing the final report in May of 2024.

For your reference, the statute authorizing the program can be viewed online.

The public is invited to share thoughts and ideas for the Stay NJ Task Force to consider in its development of recommendations for establishing and funding uniform property tax relief.
