Open New Jersey Map →NJ law (N.J.S.A. 54:5-19) requires every municipality to hold an annual tax sale for all delinquent properties. This makes NJ one of the most active tax lien states in the country, with thousands of certificates sold each year.
New Jersey statutes allow certificate holders to earn up to 18% per annum. The actual rate is bid down at auction — popular properties may sell at 0% or even a premium above the lien amount. Smaller or riskier properties often earn the full 18%.
New Jersey property owners have 2 years from the date the certificate is recorded to redeem. After 2 years, the certificate holder may file a foreclosure complaint in Superior Court.
If multiple investors bid on the same lien, they may bid a "premium" — an amount above the tax owed — to win the certificate. The premium earns no interest and is at risk if the owner redeems; only the tax amount plus statutory interest is returned at redemption.
Each county's municipalities hold separate sales. Essex County is NJ's most populous. Lientac aggregates all municipalities into one map and table. Click the county row above to filter, or use the official county link to access the tax collector's calendar.
