Which New Jersey property tax relief programs can I apply for?

ANCHOR serves qualifying homeowners and renters; Senior Freeze reimburses qualifying older or disabled homeowners for increases in property taxes or mobile home site fees; Stay NJ serves qualifying homeowners age 65 or older. Each program has its own income, residence and ownership rules. Your municipality also handles separate deductions and exemptions for qualifying seniors, people with disabilities and veterans. For the 2025 benefit application, the state filing deadline is November 2, 2026. Start with Taxation's current program guide to find the appropriate application route.
