02 Aug I can’t find the ANCHOR application online. Help?

Q. I have been trying to file for the ANCHOR program — being that we have to apply every year because I thought that it automatically rolled over for the next year. But I cannot find the application online. How do I find it?

A. You didn’t say whether you are an ANCHOR-only applicant, but it sounds like you are.

Some people will have their applications filed automatically, it said.

“Most eligible filers will have their ANCHOR applications, Form ANC-1, auto-filed and will receive an ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter in August 2026,” the state says on its website. “Eligible individuals whose ANC-1 applications are not auto-filed can file the property tax relief application electronically or download the ANC-1 application and submit it by mail when the application becomes available.”

As of Aug. 2, the application was not yet available. But when it is, you can find it at nj.gov/treasury/taxation/propertyreliefforms.shtml.
