Search Panel.
Finding a Property
In our latest release, we have moved the search panel from the top half of the page to a panel on the left to take advantage of the current wider monitor designs most users have these days.
Getting Started: Selecting the County
To get started, the first step is to select a county. With this release, you can now select more than 1 county. If you know the municipality, go ahead and select this as it will narrow the search results making it easier to identify your target. Again with this release, you can now select more then 1 municipality.
Searching by Block and Lot
Searching by Block or Lot is the most direct way to find a property, toggling Exact Search will determine if the entered block and lot match exactly or starts with.
Searching by Owner Name or Address
Owner names can be recorded in differing formats, first name followed by last name etc. We recommend just entering the last name and if you don't see the property you are looking for in the results, try toggling the Contains search switch for more results.
Similarly with addresses, sometimes it is better to start with less, such as just the street name and narrow the results by adding the street number etc in the next search.
Expanding the Sales Search Options panel provides the ability to search for any recorded deeds within your desired date range.
Entering just a From Date will return all records with a value greater than this date.
You can also query by sales price range or deed book / page.
Additional Search Options
NJTaxMaps.com provides the ability to search by property class, improved status etc. Simply entering a value in these search fields will include your criteria in the search results.
Additionally, you can expand the Range Search Options panels to find properties within a certain size, value or age.
