Free Money to those Eligible
The final deadline to apply for ANCHOR benefits is Oct. 31.
The Senior Freeze application is now part of a combined application for New Jersey's property tax relief programs for homeowners and renters.
Applicants will submit a single application to claim benefits from Senior Freeze, ANCHOR, and the new Stay NJ Program. Senior Freeze eligibility is based on residency, income, and age as of 2023 and 2024.
See Property Tax Relief for more details on the new combined application.
Previous Senior Freeze Recipients
If you previously received the Senior Freeze, you will notice some major changes. The application looks different, the income standards have changed, and you will no longer need to calculate your reimbursement since it is a combined application. However, you will still maintain your base year as long as your municipality has not reassessed your property taxes.
Filing Deadline
The deadline for the application is October 31, 2025.
