What is a tax map and how do I read it?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

A tax map is a municipal map that divides the town into blocks, lots, and sub-lots for property identification and tax assessment purposes. Each property has a unique block and lot number that appears on your deed and tax bill. Tax maps are available through your municipal tax assessor's office and show property boundaries, dimensions, and easements.

Why It Matters

Understanding your property's block and lot number is essential for looking up tax records, filing appeals, and verifying property boundaries before making improvements.
