Monmouth County, New Jersey

Where to obtain records

Monmouth County municipal routing; example: Hazlet 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 Hazlet only. For another place in Monmouth 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 Hazlet property, use Tax Collector. Its published guidance says the online system supplies balance-due, payment-history and assessment information and provides a separate Lien Redemption Request Form. Use the collector for the current redemption figure if a lien has been sold.

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 Monmouth 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 inspected department page posted a tax sale for October 27, 2026; that date-specific notice is not a certification of today’s full unpaid population. The gateway itself returned a JavaScript shell, so the published description was reviewed without a native account search. Duplicate bill and lien-redemption requests may involve different charges; confirm first. 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.
