New Jersey S3312 amends the Stay NJ property tax credit program to expand eligibility to include state residents who relocate to another homestead within New Jersey during the tax year.

The credit is calculated as 50 percent of the property taxes paid on the principal residence during the prior tax year, up to a maximum of $6,500, with future increases based on the average increase in property tax bills.
