Message from Mayor Dalina on Three Important Tax Relief Programs


Deadline to Apply is October 31, 2025

Helping to make life more affordable for all Monroe Township residents has always been one of my top priorities as your mayor. That is why I want to make sure you know about three property tax relief programs now available to New Jersey residents: StayNJ, ANCHOR and Senior Freeze.


As you may know, I have been advocating for much needed property tax relief for our residents for years – even prior to spring of 2023 when I testified before the State Legislature in support of StayNJ.

I am thankful to our legislators and state leaders for hearing our plea and working to bring important savings to NJ residents like you.  


  • StayNJ, ANCHOR, & Senior Freeze may provide homeowners 65 years and older and/or on SSD by the end of 2024, with the opportunity to save up to $6,500 per year on their property taxes. These programs are designed to help seniors remain in their homes and communities they love. Please be sure to complete a PAS-1 application, which screens all three property tax relief programs.



  • ANCHOR is also available to homeowners and renters under 65. Eligible homeowners can receive up to $1,500, and renters may receive up to $450 in relief. Please be sure to complete an ANCHOR application. 


Together these programs represent the largest property tax relief initiative in New Jersey’s history. But to receive these benefits, you must apply. 


The application deadline for all three programs is Friday, October 31, 2025. You can apply online at www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation or call 1-888-238-1233 for assistance.  


For more information, visit propertytaxrelief.nj.gov or go in-person to the Freehold Division of Taxation located at 2 Paragon Way, Suite 1100, Freehold, NJ 07728. 


The Township Tax Collector’s Office is available to answer questions at 732-521-4405, as well as the Senior Center at 609-448-7140.


Do not let this opportunity pass by - I encourage every eligible resident to apply.
