Every year, thousands of New Jersey seniors spend weeks trying to figure out which property tax relief programs they qualify for. Some apply for one benefit but miss another simply because they didn’t realize separate programs existed or assumed they needed different paperwork. New Jersey is trying to eliminate that confusion with Form PAS-1, a single application that determines eligibility for three of the state’s largest property tax relief programs.
According to the New Jersey Division of Taxation, PAS-1 now serves as the combined application for ANCHOR, Senior Freeze, and Stay NJ benefits. For eligible homeowners, completing one form could unlock thousands of dollars in annual tax relief without filing multiple applications. Here is what you need to know about this form and how it can help you unlock the tax relief you need.
