What is the New Jersey Anchor Rebate Program?

The New Jersey ANCHOR Program is designed to give eligible homeowners and renters a little financial relief from the state's high property taxes. If you qualify, you could receive a direct payment to help offset some of the cost of living in the Garden State.

The good news? Many people won't have to apply every year because they're automatically enrolled. Others, including some seniors, may need to submit an application. How much you receive depends on things like your income, age, and whether you own or rent your home.

Let's be honest—property taxes in New Jersey aren't cheap. So if you're eligible for an ANCHOR payment, it's money that's definitely worth claiming.
