Important Program Changes Coming Next Year
P.L. 2023, c.75 which was signed into law June 30, 2023, expands the income limit and simplifies the residency requirements for new Senior Freeze program applicants.
Beginning with the 2023 filing season, the law:
- Increases the income limit for the program to $150,000; and
- Eliminates the requirement that an applicant must be a New Jersey resident for 10 consecutive years.
The age/disability and three-year homeownership requirements remain unchanged.
