Everything Burlington County homeowners, renters, and seniors need to know — ANCHOR, Stay NJ, Senior Freeze, PAS-1 filing, appeal deadlines, and equalization ratios by town.
Burlington County is New Jersey's largest county by land area, with 40 municipalities spanning from the Philadelphia suburbs to the Pine Barrens. Mount Laurel, Evesham (Marlton), Moorestown, and Medford are among the most populated. Property values and tax rates vary widely across the county's diverse communities.
All 40 Burlington County municipalities are eligible for NJ state property tax relief programs including ANCHOR, Stay NJ, and Senior Freeze.
Burlington County's diverse mix of suburban, rural, and Pinelands communities means equalization ratios vary significantly by town. Suburban areas near the Philadelphia border tend to have more current assessments; rural and Pinelands communities may have older baselines.
