NJ SENIOR COUNCIL
2025 EVENTS
As the year begins, the rising prices of food, energy and healthcare are on
everyone's mind. The ability to afford to remain in one's home is also becoming
increasingly more difficult due to higher housing costs such as property taxes,
rent and mortgage.
At Senior Council, we take these concerns to heart. We will continue to publish the
Senior News in order to bring you information and news on areas of concern and
interest. We will also keep a special focus on property tax relief and what you
can expect going forward.
With the ever increasing cost of property taxes in New Jersey, many of us are
driven away. However, taking advantage of New Jersey's Property Tax Relief
programs can stretch our dollars. Who qualifies? Are there special programs for seniors?
Can renters also get relief?
To increase awareness of what is available, the Senior Council will again be giving a series of
talks throughout our communities.
The presentation will provide an update on all of the New Jersey property tax relief
programs for seniors including the new rules for SENIOR FREEZE, an overview of Stay NJ and
the eligibility requirements and application processes for:
*Senior Freeze
* Anchor Program (formerly Homestead Benefit Credit)
* Stay NJ
* Senior Citizens Annual Property Tax Deduction
* Property Tax Deductions for Veterans (or their spouses)
* NJ State Income Tax Relief for Homeowners and Renters
