A 4010 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Amends Fiscal Year 2026 annual appropriations act to extend ANCHOR benefits to certain individuals who make payments in lieu of property taxes.

This bill extends New Jersey's ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Program to include two groups previously excluded: (1) homestead owners who paid alternative "payments in lieu of property taxes" to their municipality, and (2) tenants living in rental properties where such payments were made. It allows eligible residents to receive tax relief based on their 2023 property tax amounts, with benefits capped at $1,500 for those earning under $150,000 annually (or $1,000 for $150,000-$250,000 income). The change applies to Fiscal Year 2026, with rebates paid by May 2026. The program now covers properties that pay alternative taxes instead of standard property taxes, aligning with existing eligibility rules for income thresholds.
