ANCHOR Property Tax Relief is Coming

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ (August 19, 2026) - Eligible homeowners and renters in New Brunswick should be on the lookout for a letter from the state alerting them that they will get an automatic payment from New Jersey's ANCHOR property tax relief program this fall.

The state Division of Taxation began mailing ANCHOR property tax relief confirmation letters on August 10. The letters confirm eligibility and outline benefit details for this year's program.

Most past recipients will again have their applications filed automatically. Taxpayers who need to change their address or bank account information, or who want to receive a paper check, must submit a new application at anchor.nj.gov by September 15.

Payments will be issued on a rolling basis starting Sept. 15. Most applicants will receive their benefits within 90 days of filing, unless additional information is needed.

For help, visit anchor.nj.gov. You can also call 609-826-4282 or 1-888-238-1233. A new callback option is available to reduce wait times.
