Free Property Tax Records Lookup Step-by-Step
The fastest free lookup starts with the assessment search hub or the Board of Taxation page. This helps you confirm the property before you search tax payments, deeds, mortgages or GIS maps.
After you find the correct property, save the municipality, block, lot, qualifier, owner clue and property address. These fields are the foundation for almost every Burlington County property records search.
- Open the assessment search Go to Burlington County Property Tax Assessment Search.
- Select or filter by town Choose the correct municipality first. Burlington County has many local tax districts, and searching without the right town can create wrong matches.
- Search by owner, property or block/lot Use owner name, property location, block/lot/qualifier, class, sales date, sales price range or other available filters.
- Confirm the assessment record Check owner clue, property address, municipality, block, lot, qualifier, class, assessed value, sale details and property details.
- Use the right follow-up office Use the municipal collector for current taxes, the County Clerk/PRESS for deeds and mortgages, and GIS for parcel map context.
How to Find Block, Lot, Qualifier and Property ID
New Jersey property records commonly use block, lot and qualifier. In Burlington County, this identifier helps match assessment records, municipal tax bills, County Clerk records, GIS parcel maps and NJ state parcel data.
The qualifier is especially important for condos, units, complexes and some special property types. A search that ignores qualifier can point to the wrong taxable property.
Best ways to find block, lot and qualifier
- Use Burlington County Property Tax Assessment Search.
- Use the municipality filter first, then search by owner name, property address or block/lot.
- Check your municipal property tax bill, assessment notice, deed, mortgage paperwork, title report or closing statement.
- Use Burlington County GIS maps if you know the location but not the block and lot.
- Use NJGIN parcels for statewide parcel context.
- Contact the municipal assessor if the parcel was recently subdivided, merged, revalued, reassessed, converted to condo or corrected.
Assessment Records, Tax Board and Property Search
The Burlington County Board of Taxation certifies property records received from municipal assessors for properties in all Burlington County municipalities. The Board page also links users to appeals, forms, tax maps, revaluations and reassessments, OPRA resources and municipal assessor/collector details.
Use assessment records when you need owner clues, property class, land value, improvement value, total assessment, sale clues, municipality, block/lot/qualifier or appeal direction.
| Assessment Item | What It Helps You Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Municipality | The local taxing district where the property is located. | Current tax bills and payments are handled by municipal collectors. |
| Block, lot and qualifier | Main New Jersey property identifiers. | Best fields for matching assessment, tax, GIS and deed records. |
| Owner and property location | Owner clue and site/property address. | Useful for buyer research, assessor questions and deed search direction. |
| Property class | Residential, commercial, vacant, farm or other class clues. | Helpful for understanding assessment treatment and tax context. |
| Assessment value | Tax-purpose value of land and improvements. | Important for appeal review, tax estimates and comparison. |
| Sales details | Recent sale date, sale price and repeated sale clues where available. | Useful for market comparison and assessment review. |
Property Tax Bills, Payments and Municipal Collectors
In New Jersey, current property taxes are billed and collected by municipalities. Burlington County does not have one single countywide payment portal for every current tax bill.
Use the municipal tax collector for current balance, quarterly payments, receipts, interest, penalties, lien or tax sale status, sewer charges where applicable, escrow questions and payment instructions.
- Confirm the municipality Identify whether the property is in Mount Laurel, Evesham, Willingboro, Burlington City, Burlington Township, Medford, Moorestown, Mount Holly, Pemberton, Cinnaminson or another Burlington County municipality.
- Find the municipal collector Use Burlington County Assessors & Collectors.
- Search using official identifiers Municipal systems may search by block/lot, property location, owner name, account number or bill number.
- Confirm before paying Check municipality, block, lot, qualifier, tax year, quarter, balance, interest and payment method.
- Save proof of payment Keep receipts, confirmation numbers, screenshots and bank records until the municipal record updates.
Important tax details for buyers and homeowners
If you recently purchased property in Burlington County, check the municipal tax collector record after closing. Deed recording, assessment owner update, tax bill mailing and escrow payment status may not all update at the same time.
If your lender pays through escrow, compare block, lot, qualifier and municipality on your lender statement with the official municipal tax record. Keep your closing statement and tax proration documents until the next bill cycle is clear.
Search Deeds, Mortgages and Recorded Land Documents
The Burlington County Clerk provides access to recorded property records through PRESS, the Public Records Electronic Search System. PRESS includes property records and archive images for older property records.

Records from 1965 to February 2012 can only be searched by owner name. Records before 1965 are available through the archive viewer and can be searched only by property owner name.

Local Tips Most Guides Miss
- Municipality comes first: Burlington County tax payments are local, so confirm the town before searching current tax bills.
- Use block and lot: This is the strongest identifier for New Jersey property research.
- PRESS has date-based search rules: Newer records allow block/lot search, but older records rely on owner-name searching.
- Assessment search is not a tax payment portal: Use it for property data, not final current balance.
- The County Clerk handles deeds: Deeds, mortgages and recorded property documents are Clerk/PRESS records, not Tax Board records.
- Search old owner names: Older deeds and mortgages may be indexed under prior owners only.
- Use NJGIN for map context: It can help confirm parcel geography when county or municipal searches are confusing.
- Do not rely only on owner name: Trusts, LLCs, condos and spelling variations can hide the correct record.
- Save collector receipts: Municipal payment records may take time to update after payment.
- Ask the local assessor for corrections: Assessment detail corrections usually start with the municipal assessor.
