Welcome to the Office of the Lumberton Township Tax Assessor. The Tax Assessor’s office is under the jurisdiction of the Burlington County Board of Taxation and the New Jersey Division of Taxation. This office is located at the Lumberton Township Municipal Building and available to serve the community’s assessment needs.
Among the many functions of the Assessor’s office, is its role in assessing values of all real property in the municipality for the purpose of tax assessments, preparing the tax list, maintaining records of every parcel, maintaining the community’s tax map and educating the public about the assessment function.
Property taxes are levied based on the assessed value of all real estate within a community with the exception of those properties used for religious, educational or charitable purposes and for veterans who are 100% permanently disabled due to wartime service. The “ratable base” is the assessed valuation of the community’s residential, commercial, industrial and farmland properties. The tax rate and your individual tax burden are determined by the following formulas:
