2025 Property Tax Relief Flyers & FAQs

This document provides comprehensive information regarding the 2024 New Jersey Property Tax Relief programs for seniors and disabled residents, which now feature a combined application form (PAS-1) for Senior Freeze, ANCHOR, and Stay NJ benefits. The program aims to assist homeowners and renters aged 65 and over, or those receiving Social Security Disability payments as of December 31, 2023, who meet specific residency and income criteria. Key changes include a unified application process, relaxed income standards for Senior Freeze, and the elimination of the ID/PIN requirement for ANCHOR homeowner recipients. Applicants no longer need to provide proof of property taxes paid. The filing deadline for Tax Year 2024 applications is October 31, 2025. Applications can be submitted via paper Form PAS-1 or online at propertytaxrelief.nj.gov, with direct deposit available only for online filers. Payment distribution for Senior Freeze is set to begin July 15, 2025, ANCHOR in September 2025, and Stay NJ payments quarterly starting in 2026, all contingent on State Budget appropriations. In-person assistance is available at various Division of Taxation Regional Information Centers.
