Middlesex County municipal routing; example: East Brunswick Tax Collector

How to find the information

Start with the municipality where the parcel lies. New Jersey municipal collectors hold the local collection account, even when the bill includes county or school charges. The example below covers East Brunswick only. For another place in Middlesex County, use the Office website link to the state’s County and Municipal Web Sites directory, then confirm the municipality’s official collector and public-records custodian. That directory cautions that some listed sites may not be official.

For East Brunswick property, use Tax Collector. Its reviewed 2026 notice schedules an electronic sale for unpaid prior-year municipal charges to conclude December 2, 2026 and points to the township-designated auction service. Confirm current notice revisions with the collector.

For records beyond the published page, ask the responsible collector for an existing delinquent real-estate report, account/payment ledger or current lien-redemption calculation. Identify the municipality, block/lot/qualifier or tax-account ID, years, desired as-of date and preferred inspection/electronic-copy format. Ask whether tax, sewer, water and other municipal charges are separate. For a formal existing-records request, use that municipality’s records custodian/OPRA route; confirm any copying, extract or certification charges before ordering.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Middlesex County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.

County-specific notes

The page says payments to stay out of that sale must use cash, money order or certified funds from September 14, 2026, with online payments not permitted. That is a payment restriction, not proof that every delinquent account appears on a public sale list. As of the review date, its stated website advertising period had not begun. East Brunswick and North/South Brunswick are separate municipalities. Reviewed status concerns source/access guidance, not certified taxpayer liability. Tax-sale notices, recorded liens, assessed values and current collector balances have different coverage. No taxpayer rows, sale-list attachments or account results are reproduced.
