What tax breaks are available for New Jersey homeowners?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
New Jersey offers several tax relief programs including the ANCHOR program with payments up to $1,500 for eligible homeowners, a property tax deduction of up to $50,000 against state income tax, a homestead rebate for seniors and disabled residents, and senior freeze programs. Federal deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes also apply.
Why It Matters
These programs can substantially reduce your annual housing costs, but each has specific eligibility requirements and application deadlines you need to meet.
