- Senior Deduction Program: Authorized state-level programs allow eligible senior homeowners 65 or older (with qualifying income limits) to receive a $250 annual property tax deduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Property tax bills in Whiting remain relatively modest compared to broader New Jersey averages. Because Manchester Township conducts annual reassessments to keep assessed values aligned with true market value, rates remain predictable across local active adult villages. Eligible senior residents aged 65 or older who meet state income guidelines can stack the statewide $250 Senior Citizens' Property Tax Deduction onto standard tax billings. Additional state tax relief measures — such as ANCHOR and the Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement) program — provide ongoing financial protection against municipal tax increases.
