Southampton Township, located in Burlington County, State of New Jersey, is offering four distinct parcels of real property for public sale via sealed bid, adhering to N.J.S.A. 40A:12-13, as these properties are no longer required for public use.

Each property is sold strictly "AS IS, WHERE IS," with the Township making no representations or warranties regarding its condition or suitability for any specific purpose, emphasizing the responsibility of prospective purchasers. Prospective bidders are solely responsible for conducting all necessary due diligence, including verifying wetlands, buffer areas, and ensuring any proposed development complies with Southampton Township's land use ordinances. While specific contractor qualifications or licenses are not required for submitting a bid on these municipal land sales, bidders must demonstrate financial capability to meet the minimum bid price and associated deposit requirements. The sale of each parcel is contingent upon final approval by the Southampton Township Committee, which reserves the absolute right to reject any and all bids within forty-five (45) days of the bid opening. This stipulation highlights the Township's discretion in the property disposition process and underscores the importance of a comprehensive bid submission. Sealed bids for these valuable real estate opportunities must be physically received by the Municipal Clerk at the Southampton Township Municipal Clerk's Office, located at 5 Retreat Road, Southampton, New Jersey, precisely by June 11, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. All bids will be publicly opened and read aloud at this specified time and location. A mandatory deposit is required with each bid, equal to ten percent (10%) of the bid amount or $20,000.00, whichever is less, payable via cash, certified check, or bank treasurer's check. This deposit becomes non-refundable for the successful bidder upon the Township Committee's acceptance of the bid. Successful bidders are expected to complete closing within forty-five (45) days after contract execution and will be responsible for all taxes from the closing date.
