Mar. 13, 2009 - Corzine Budget Hurts Property Owners

Save the Homeowners tax deduction  

Governor Jon Corzine, to a joint session of the New Jersey Legislature, announced plans to eliminate the ability for all non-senior households, regardless of income, to deduct property taxes from their state tax filings. 

At a time when the global economic crisis weighs heavy on the minds of Garden State residents, this proposal is counterproductive and will hinder recovery efforts.  The loss of the deduction will make it even more difficult for families struggling to afford to stay in their homes.

This is impotant for homeowners and future homeowners, alike.  Please join with me and let our state representatives know that this ill conceived plan is unacceptable.

As the leading advocate for homeowners and the real estate industry in the state, the New Jersey Association of REALTORS (NJAR) is adamantly opposed to this proposal.
