Micala,
The Township of Old Bridge received an Open Public Records Act (OPRA)
request on 10/4/2022. As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to
respond to your request is 10/12/2022.

scheduled for tax sale, have municipal liens, water shut off notice, class
2 properties with outstanding tax balances greater than $2,000.
Please see attached documents responsive to your request.
Our tax office advises: Attached is a list of all properties with a
delinquent tax balance. Our system doesn’t allow for a specific date
range, so the list includes any open delinquency. We have already held our
tax sale this year, so we won’t have a list of delinquencies for tax sale
until next year. Also included is a list of all properties with open
municipal liens. For information on the water and sewer, they should
contact the Old Bridge MUA directly. 732-566-2534.
