Checks for property tax rebates under New Jersey’s ANCHOR program started being mailed out by the end of March.
If you are eligible for an ANCHOR property tax rebate and have not yet received your money, you should have it no later than May 3. If you haven’t received your payment by May 3, you must notify the state Treasury Office.
When to Mail Your ANCHOR Property Tax Refund
More than 1.25 million homeowners and more than 514,000 renters applied for the ANCHOR program. During his 2023 budget address in March of 2018, Governor Phil Murphy first mentioned the initiative.
The governor announced his intention to carry on with the initiative into the next state fiscal year last month.
The Homestead Benefit property tax relief program has been transformed into ANCHOR (Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters). The new scheme increases the income cap for homeowners and makes the program available to renters as well.
On March 28, 2019, the first direct transfer payments for ANCHOR Property Tax Relief rebates were made. More than 800,000 people have already received their ANCHOR Property tax rebate payment, as stated by Governor Murphy at the time.
