Dear Fellow New Jersey Residents,

Property taxes in New Jersey are among the highest in the nation, placing an unbearable burden on homeowners, seniors, and families. Many of us are struggling to keep up with rising property tax bills, which threaten our ability to stay in our homes and communities. It’s time for change.

We, the undersigned, call on the New Jersey State Legislature and Governor to enact a Proposition 13-style property tax cap to provide relief to homeowners and ensure long-term affordability. This reform would:

Cap Property Tax Rates: Limit annual property tax increases to a reasonable percentage (e.g 1% like California) to prevent sudden and unsustainable spikes in tax bills.
Freeze Assessments at Purchase Price: Base property tax assessments on the purchase price of the home, with modest annual adjustments, rather than allowing unpredictable reassessments that disproportionately impact long-term residents.
Protect Seniors and Fixed-Income Households: Ensure that retirees and those on fixed incomes are not forced out of their homes due to unaffordable property tax hikes.
Promote Stability and Predictability: Provide homeowners with the certainty they need to plan for their futures without fear of losing their homes to skyrocketing taxes.
Why This Matters:

New Jersey’s property taxes are driving families out of the state, hurting our communities, and making homeownership increasingly unattainable for younger generations.
A Proposition 13-style reform has been successfully implemented in California, providing stability and relief to homeowners while maintaining funding for essential services.
By capping property taxes, we can protect homeowners, support economic growth, and ensure that New Jersey remains a place where families can thrive for generations to come.
Take Action Now:

Join us in calling on our state leaders to adopt a Proposition 13-style property tax cap for New Jersey. Sign this petition to demand relief for homeowners and a fairer, more sustainable property tax system.

Together, we can make a difference. Let’s ensure that New Jersey remains a place we can all call home.
