Burlington County Equalization Ratios by Municipality

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.

The formula: Assessed Value ÷ Equalization Ratio = Implied Market Value. If that number is higher than what comparable homes are actually selling for in your town, you may be over-assessed and have grounds to appeal. Use the free appeal calculator →

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the property tax appeal deadline for Burlington County?
The standard deadline is April 1, or 45 days from the mailing date of your assessment notice — whichever provides more time. Call the Burlington County Board of Taxation at (609) 265-5327 to confirm current year procedures before filing.
I live in Mount Laurel — should I look into a property tax appeal?
Mount Laurel has seen strong appreciation in recent years. Whether an appeal makes sense depends on when your home was last assessed and what the current equalization ratio is. The simple check: Assessed Value ÷ Equalization Ratio = Implied Market Value. If that number is higher than what comparable homes have sold for nearby, you may have a case. Our team can pull free comps to help you decide.
Do Burlington County seniors need to file separately for ANCHOR and Stay NJ?
No. Burlington County seniors 65 or older should file the PAS-1 combined application at propertytaxrelief.nj.gov — one form covers ANCHOR, Stay NJ, and Senior Freeze simultaneously. Deadline: November 2, 2026. Do not use the ANC-1 form if you are 65 or older.
I live in Evesham (Marlton). How do I find my block and lot number?
Your block and lot is printed on your Evesham Township property tax bill. It's also available through the municipality's tax records portal and on your property deed. You'll need it for the ANCHOR/PAS-1 application and any tax board filing.
Burlington County is huge — do the rules differ by municipality?
The state programs (ANCHOR, Stay NJ, Senior Freeze) apply equally across all 40 municipalities — eligibility is determined by income and residency, not which specific town you live in. Property tax appeal procedures are handled county-wide through the Burlington County Board of Taxation, though assessment approaches can vary by municipality. The April 1 deadline applies countywide.
