Property Tax Relief for Seniors and Social Security Disability Recipients

For the first time, New Jersey residents can apply for three major property tax relief programs (Property Tax Reimbursement (Senior Freeze); Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters (ANCHOR); and Stay NJ) on a single application – Form PAS-1. 

This one-stop application can be used by resident homeowners, mobile home owners and renters age 65 and over – and those who are receiving federal Social Security Disability benefits. It replaces the previous Senior Freeze forms (PTR-1 and PTR-2) and ANCHOR applications. You will no longer be required to file separate applications to receive benefits from these State programs, but you MUST file this form either online or by paper to be eligible. The State will determine which programs you are eligible for and calculate the benefits you are entitled to receive.

The FILING DEADLINE is OCTOBER 31, 2025.  To file online or to access more information regarding these programs, please visit the NJ Division of Taxation website at propertytaxrelief.nj.gov. 

Please contact our office if you need more assistance  or call the NJ Property Tax Relief Hotline at 1 (888) 238-1233.
