Burlington County Inspection Context

Burlington County stretches from Delaware-River row houses in Riverside and Burlington City to Pinelands acreage in Tabernacle. Older multi-family stock is common in Mount Holly and Maple Shade.

Burlington County tax rates average 2.5%, lower than northern counties but still meaningful on larger Pinelands acreage.

Burlington's military-base proximity (Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst) means many Tony purchases involve PCS (military relocation) sellers on tight deadlines.

What an Inspection in Mount Holly Looks Like

Where the AHJ requires it — and Burlington County, New Jersey jurisdictions vary on this — a load test is performed at 1,000 pounds per landing or five times the design live load, whichever is greater, in accordance with IFC §1104.16.5. The full scope is documented in the written report.
