SUPPORTING PASSAGE OF S-1023 AND A-1835
WHEREAS, Senate Bill S-1023 and Assembly A-1835 have introduced for the purpose,
in part, requiring the State to reimburse municipalities for the reimbursement and
payment of property taxes that disabled veterans are exempt from payment of; and
WHEREAS, the bills also require that the Governing Body of each municipality to
return all taxes collected on the veteran's property after the effective date of the
determination of total disability from the United State Department of Veterans Affairs,
and requires the State to reimburse municipalities for the amount of such property taxes
returned to a totally disabled veteran pursuant to the requirements of the bill;
WHEREAS, the Governing Body of the Borough of Carteret recognizes the bravery of
the men and women of our armed services and pay homage to them for their service to
our Country at a great sacrifice to their health and welfare that they gave so valiantly for
the Freedom that we all experience and enjoy today; and
WHEREAS, the exemption of the property tax for the 100% disabled veterans while
justified, it does possess a burden to the municipalities and seriously impacts the citizens
of the Borough who would have to bear the burden of this exemption without the
reimbursement from the State of New Jersey.
