Verified form to review: NJ ANCHOR Application, Form ANC-1 (Form PAS-1 for age 65 and older or Social Security and Railroad Retirement disability recipients)
ANCHOR gives New Jersey homeowners a property tax relief benefit if they owned and lived in a New Jersey home as their main residence on the program's October 1 ownership date and their New Jersey gross income is within the limit (up to $250,000 for homeowners). Most eligible homeowners are auto filed on Form ANC-1 and only receive a confirmation letter, but anyone not auto filed files online or by mail (people age 65 and older and Social Security or Railroad Retirement disability recipients use the combined Form PAS-1).
Steps to apply
- Confirm you owned and occupied a New Jersey home as your main residence on the program's October 1 ownership date and that your New Jersey gross income is within the limit.
- If you receive an ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter, your ANC-1 was auto filed and no action is needed unless your information changed.
- If you were not auto filed, go to propertytaxreliefapp.nj.gov and file the application online, verifying your identity through ID.me.
- If you prefer paper, download the current ANC-1 application from the NJ Division of Taxation site and mail it (people age 65 and older and disability recipients file Form PAS-1 instead).
- File before the posted deadline and use the Check Benefit Status tool to track your application.
Documents you will likely need
- Photo ID accepted by ID.me for online filing (driver's license, state ID, passport, or passport card)
- Your New Jersey gross income amount from your prior year NJ-1040 return
- Property information from your property tax bill (county and municipality code, block, lot, and qualifier)
- Your property tax amount for the year
- Your ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter or the ID and PIN if one was mailed to you
