Burlington County Property Tax Records: Search Tax Bills, Assessment Data, Block/Lot, Maps & Deeds
Burlington County property tax records work differently from many county sites because New Jersey property taxes are collected at the municipal level, while the County Board of Taxation certifies assessment records from local assessors. The county also removed its former property search hub because of OPRA and Daniel’s Law privacy requirements, so the safest workflow is to use the Tax Board, municipal collector links, NJ Property Explorer, county tax maps and Clerk PRESS in the right order.
This guide shows how to find block and lot, confirm assessed value, contact the correct municipal tax collector, view tax maps, search recorded deeds, understand NJ quarterly tax due dates, file an assessment appeal, and avoid confusing tax records with title records.

Fastest Way to Find Burlington County Property Tax Records
Burlington County Property Tax Records Are Split by Office
The most common mistake is treating Burlington County like a single county tax collector. In New Jersey, tax collection is municipal, while assessment lists are certified through the county Board of Taxation.
| Your Question | Correct Source | What It Shows | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| How much tax do I owe? | Municipal Tax Collector | Current bill, payment balance, quarterly installments, interest, tax sale status. | Use the collector for the exact town, not a generic county payment page. |
| What is the assessed value? | Municipal Assessor / County Board of Taxation / NJ Property Explorer | Assessment, block/lot, classification, owner/location data, prior-year taxes. | Some data may lag after January-filed lists or be affected by privacy protections. |
| Need tax map? | Burlington County Tax Maps | Municipal PDF tax maps where available. | Some municipalities are physical-map only at the county office. |
| Need deed or mortgage? | Burlington County Clerk PRESS | Recorded land records, deeds, mortgages, liens, maps and document images. | Older records have different search rules by date range. |
| Need assessment appeal? | Burlington County Board of Taxation | NOA, regular appeal, added/omitted appeal and appeal deadlines. | Late paper or online appeals are not accepted. |

Owner only
Property records from 1965 through February 2012 can only be searched by property owner’s name.
