Burlington County Tax Appeals: January 15, Not April 1

Burlington uses New Jersey's alternate assessment calendar, like Gloucester and Monmouth (NJ Division of Taxation). Most New Jersey counties have an April 1 deadline. In Burlington, the timeline for the 2027 tax year is (Burlington County Board of Taxation, alternate calendar):

Step2027 tax year
Notice of Assessment postcards mailedNovember 2026, about November 15
No postcard by November 20?Contact your municipal assessor
Online appeal filing opensDecember 3, 2026 at 12:01 a.m.
Appeal deadline, including revaluation and reassessment townsJanuary 15, 2027 (online by 11:59 p.m.; paper received by 4:00 p.m.)
HearingsFebruary, March and April 2027, in person

If your postcard is mailed after November 30, you have 45 days from the mailing date to appeal. The Board no longer offers virtual hearings. Hearings are held in the Commissioners' Board Room, 49 Rancocas Road, Mount Holly. Added and omitted assessment appeals are heard in December.

The ratio test. The Board divides your assessment by your property's market value and compares the result with your town's common level range, which is the average ratio plus or minus 15%. If your ratio is above the upper limit, the assessment is reduced by applying the average ratio to your market value (NJ Division of Taxation).

Appeals filed in January 2027 will use the 2027 ratios, which the state releases around October 1, 2026. Recheck your town's range before filing.

Worked example

Example, using Mount Laurel's 2026 average ratio of 60.04% (range 51.03% – 69.05%): a home is assessed at $240,000.

  • If it appraises at $420,000, the ratio is 57.1%, inside the range, so there's no change, even if the owner feels over-assessed.
  • If it appraises at $320,000, the ratio is 75.0%, above the range, so the assessment is reduced to about $192,128 ($320,000 × 60.04%).

Reassessments. Springfield Township is being reassessed for the 2027 tax year, on order of the County Board, because its properties aren't assessed at market value (Springfield Township).

Evidence. Pemberton Township's assessor's office summarizes the Burlington rules (Township of Pemberton):

Deliver the appraisal 7 days before the hearing: one copy to the assessor and three copies to the Board.
The appraiser must be available at the hearing to testify and be cross-examined.

We prepare tax appeal appraisals valued as of the October 1 assessment date, delivered in time for February hearings, and we appear at the hearing to testify.

Estate and Date-of-Death Appraisals

Burlington County estates are handled by the Burlington County Surrogate, 50 Rancocas Road, 1st Floor, Mount Holly (Burlington County Surrogate). Executors often need a date-of-death value for three reasons: to report stepped-up basis to the IRS, to divide property fairly among heirs, and to support a sale or buyout.

Our estate and date-of-death appraisals are retrospective. We value the property as it stood on the date of death, using sales from that period rather than today's market.

Divorce Appraisals for Burlington County Family Court

Burlington County divorce matters are handled by the Family Division at the Burlington County Court Facility, 49 Rancocas Road, Mount Holly (NJ Courts). When the marital home, a farm or a rental property is part of equitable distribution, both sides and the court need a value that is neutral and defensible.

We provide court-ready divorce appraisals. That includes retrospective values as of the date of filing or separation, joint engagements where both spouses agree on one appraiser, and inspections coordinated through counsel when the spouses can't be present together.

Farms, Pinelands Land and Military Relocations

Three parts of the Burlington County market need more than a standard approach:

Farms and acreage in Chesterfield, Springfield, Mansfield, North Hanover and Southampton. Farmland assessment, preserved-farm deed restrictions, outbuildings, and soil and wetlands all affect value.
Pinelands properties in the county's 14 Pinelands municipalities. Pinelands management-area zoning can limit density and building, so we compare sales under the same rules.
Military relocations. Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst borders Wrightstown, New Hanover, North Hanover and Pemberton Township. Families on permanent-change-of-station orders often need a fast, well-supported value to sell, rent or buy out a home.

We also provide as-is and after-repair value (ARV) appraisals for renovation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions – Burlington County Appraisals

When is the Burlington County property tax appeal deadline?
January 15 of the tax year, not April 1. Burlington uses New Jersey's alternate assessment calendar, like Gloucester and Monmouth. For the 2027 tax year, Notice of Assessment postcards go out in November 2026, online filing opens December 3, 2026, and appeals are due January 15, 2027. Online filings close at 11:59 p.m., and paper filings must be received by 4:00 p.m. If your postcard is mailed after November 30, you have 45 days from the mailing date. Revaluation and reassessment towns use the same January 15 deadline.
When are Burlington County tax appeal hearings held?
In February, March and April, before tax bills are prepared. The Burlington County Board of Taxation no longer offers virtual hearings, so hearings are held in person at 49 Rancocas Road, Mount Holly. Added and omitted assessment appeals are heard in December.
Does the appraiser have to testify at a Burlington County tax appeal hearing?
Yes. Pemberton Township's assessor's office explains the rule: if you rely on an appraisal, the appraiser must be available at the hearing to testify and be cross-examined. Deliver one copy of the report to the assessor and three copies to the Board of Taxation at least 7 days before the hearing. With hearings starting in February, an appraisal ordered in December or early January is well timed.
Can you appraise farms, acreage and Pinelands properties?
Yes. Burlington is New Jersey's largest county by land area, and 14 of its municipalities are in the Pinelands National Reserve. Pinelands zoning, farmland assessment, preserved-farm deed restrictions, wetlands, and septic and well systems all affect value. We choose comparables subject to the same land-use rules.
How long does a Burlington County appraisal take and what does it cost?
Most reports are delivered in 5 to 7 business days after the inspection. Typical fees are $495 to $750, depending on property type, complexity and purpose. Farm, acreage, court-ready and retrospective assignments may cost more. You'll get a firm quote before scheduling.
