Green Acres has created this “survey section” on
its website to assist those who prepare surveys for Green
Acres and those who contract for those surveys. The site
contains direct links to documents and resources of interest
to surveyors, whether performing services for local governments,
non–profit organizations, or directly for the State.
Those agencies and organizations wishing to apply for and
secure Green Acres funding and participation for their fee
and easement acquisitions will find that this information
will help them contract for appropriate survey content and
format required for Green Acres approval. If you have further
questions, please visit the Green Acres website at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/greenacres. For additional assistance, our full-time surveyor is Mark Ashton, PLS, available by e–mail at Mark.Ashton@dep.state.nj.us or by phone at 609–984–0496.

Looking for survey maps of prior
open space acquisitions?
While some information
may be in Green Acres archives, the managing entities for open space and recreational areas will
have records for all lands that they manage. While you are always welcome to file an OPRA request,
it is often faster to contact the managing entity directly to obtain this information. While Green Acres
assists in the purchase of real property interests (fee or easement), it is not the managing entity for any land.
Please note that the Green Acres State
Land Acquisition Standard Scope of Survey Services (as posted
on this web site) applies to any lands acquired for the New Jersey divisions listed
below, or in partnership with the State Agricultural Development
Committee (SADC), local units, or nonprofit organizations.
For surveys of properties for which Green Acres may have provided funding assistance,
contact the municipality, county, or non-profit owners directly.
The following is a list of state organizations
and agencies that may have information
in their files preceding the formation of Green Acres
in 1961, or more current surveys beyond what is kept
in the Green Acres facilities.
Looking for aerial photos or tax map parcel data?
The State of New Jersey's Transparency Center has made on-line mapping available to the public at no cost. The site presents aerial photography for 2010, 2007, 2002, 1995, and 1930 as well as street maps showing tax map parcels.
While not a searchable site beyond display by county and municipality, it does allow zooming and panning.
A free searchable database of tax parcel information is available from njpropertyreports.com. Check the currency of data posted.
