This program offers property tax relief to New Jersey residents who own or rent property in New Jersey as their main home and meet certain income limits. This year's ANCHOR benefit is based on residency, income, and age from 2024.
The Division filed ANCHOR applications on behalf of many eligible New Jersey homeowners and renters under age 65 who are not receiving Social Security disability benefits. On August 13, 2025, we mailed Anchor Benefit Confirmation Letters to these applicants.
- Applicants who received a letter and needed to update banking information, request a paper check, or decline the filing were required to submit their own application by September 15, 2025.
- Applicants who did not receive a letter may submit an Application for Property Tax Relief on their own by October 31, 2025.
