List of Properties
Dear Verona Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
- A list of all property addresses that have had their water bill liened against the property, have failed to pay their water bill, or have had the water shut off at any point.
- A list of all property addresses that have an unpaid property tax bill. Please also include in the list or separately a list of properties whose property tax bill was liened against the property.
Yours faithfully,
Nathan
I, Jennifer Kiernan, the official Records Custodian of the Township of
Verona received your OPRA request on July 19, 2023. As such, the seven
(7) business day deadline to respond to your request is July 28, 2023.
This response is being provided to you on the 5th day of receipt of said
request.
This request is denied. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A et seq., known as the
NJ Open Public Records Act, Records Custodians are not required to conduct
research or create new records in response to an OPRA request. Your
request was too broad in that no date ranges were specified.
However I am providing you with the property tax delinquency report and
water utility delinquency report as of July 19, 2023 in hopes that these
documents will satisfy your request.
Thank you.
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Township of Verona to deny access.
At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior
Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records
Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may
contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O.
Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [1][email address], or at
their web site at [2]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other
questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in
Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
