Burlington County, NJ Foreclosure: Timeline, Adjournments and Your Options
In Burlington County, the Sheriff's Office publishes a sale notice every Thursday for four weeks in a row and then holds the sale in the fifth week. That schedule gives owners a predictable, short countdown once a sale is advertised. This guide explains how that countdown fits into the New Jersey court process, including the free mediation program.

Burlington County owners range from Willingboro Levittown-style homeowners to Mount Laurel townhome buyers and military families near Joint Base MDL. Kaizen's notes mention relocation as a common reason to sell. This is general information, not legal advice. A housing counselor or attorney should review your papers.
Step by step in Burlington County
- 1
Treat the 30-day notice as a deadline
The Notice of Intent to Foreclose gives the borrower 30 days from receipt to pay off the debt, according to the New Jersey Courts site. Call your servicer, write down what is offered, and start talking to a housing counselor.
- 2
Respond when the complaint arrives
The state lists 35 days to file an answer if you contest the foreclosure. Separately, the lender must give 14 days notice before asking for entry of default, and the page lists 45 days to cure or make other arrangements after that. Do not guess at these dates; ask an attorney.
- 3
Apply for mediation within 60 days
The court's flyer describes a free program for owner-occupants of one- to four-family primary residences who are not in bankruptcy. You file the Mediation Request Statement with the Superior Court Clerk's Office within 60 days, and you must work with a HUD-certified counselor. It does not stop the lender on its own.

Read the Sheriff's sale notices
Burlington County says properties are advertised in two newspapers each Thursday for four weeks, with the Burlington County Times always one of them. The other depends on the property's town. Current listings are available through the salesweb.civilview.com portal, and the foreclosure email is [email protected].
- 5
Use the adjournment rule carefully
The Sheriff says it can grant two adjournments and no more per case. Attorneys of record or the court can adjourn separately. Count which adjournments have been used before you plan around a date.
- 6
Plan around the house
Willingboro's planned neighborhoods have original systems and additions. Mount Laurel and Evesham attached homes can have association rules. Burlington City riverfront and Pemberton Pinelands homes raise flood and septic questions. Know which applies before you ask for offers.
- 7
Get the payoff in writing
If the house is worth more than the debt, selling before the auction protects the equity. If it is not, ask your attorney and counselor about lender approval before you commit.

Military relocations near the Joint Base can force a sale before a loan is current, and Burlington County's notes list relocation as a common situation. A listing with an agent may fit if the house shows well and the four-week sale clock has not started. If the clock is running, a quicker route may be the practical one.
Kaizen buys as-is for cash. We make an offer within 24 hours, charge no agent commission, require no repairs, and can close in 14 to 30 days or on your date. We cannot stop a sheriff's sale or an adjournment decision. Check timing with the lender's attorney and your own lawyer first. Call 267-329-0084.
Burlington County foreclosure questions
How are Burlington County sheriff sales advertised?
In two newspapers each Thursday for four consecutive weeks, then sold in the fifth week. The Burlington County Times is always one, and the second paper depends on the property's municipality, according to the county.
How many times can a Burlington County sale be adjourned?
The Sheriff says it can grant two adjournments per case and no more. The attorneys of record or the court can also adjourn a sale. Ask your lawyer which have already been used.
Where do I find the Burlington County sale list?
The county's foreclosure page directs people to salesweb.civilview.com for current listings. The Sheriff's Office is at 49 Rancocas Road in Mount Holly, phone 609-265-5127, and the foreclosure email is [email protected].
Does mediation stop the sale?
No. The court's flyer warns that applying for mediation does not stop the lender from moving forward. If a sale is already scheduled you would need to file a motion asking the court for a stay.
Does Kaizen buy Burlington County houses in foreclosure?
Kaizen makes as-is cash offers and can close in 14 to 30 days or on your date, with no repairs and no commission. Timing against a sheriff's sale depends on your lender and the court, which Kaizen does not control.
