Property Tax Relief at State Level

The State of New Jersey currently offers two programs for property tax relief:

Property Tax Reimbursement Program (PTR). This program reimburses senior citizens (age 65) and disabled persons the difference between the “base” year (which is determined by the date of your initial application) and subsequent tax years. Income limits apply. Information and applications regarding this program may be obtained by calling the Reimbursement Hotline at 877-225-1312, or on the web at: state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/ptr/index.shtml
(Although the PTR is a state program, as a courtesy, we have books available in our office AFTER April 1st for first-time applicants.)
ANCHOR Benefit Program: Replaces the Homestead rebate program, rebates eligible homeowners and tenants up to $1,750.00; amount will vary depending on household income and age. Previously, the state has been applying the credits directly towards the homeowner’s property taxes due, but will now be making payment by check or direct deposit. Information is mailed directly to homeowners by the state annually in the fall. For further information, call 888-238-1233, or on the web at: state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/anchor/index.shtml
