Key Notes for Burlington County Investors

Cash deposit is capped at $2,000; the remainder must be in certified bank checks.

Balance is due in approximately two weeks (not 30 days as in most NJ counties) — be prepared to move quickly.

It is the purchaser’s sole responsibility to record the deed at the County Clerk and pay all fees.

CWPP-eligible purchasers (defendants, next-of-kin, tenants) pay only 3.5% deposit, with balance due within 90 business days.

A Sheriff’s Deed does not guarantee clear title. Conduct a full title search before bidding.
