New Jersey S1012 expands property tax exemption eligibility for honorably discharged veterans with service-connected disabilities, including mental.

New Jersey S1012 amends the state's property tax exemption law to provide a proportional property tax exemption for honorably discharged veterans with service-connected permanent disabilities, including mental illness. The exemption is in proportion to the veteran's percentage of disability, up to 100 percent. The bill also extends eligibility to the surviving spouse, surviving civil union partner, or surviving domestic partner of a disabled veteran, allowing them to receive the exemption until they remarry or enter into a new partnership.
