Dear Highlands Borough,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
• Code enforcement complaints (with dates)
• Notices of violation
• Fines
• Certificates of occupancy
• Permit applications and approvals
• Zoning determinations
• Planning/Zoning Board applications and resolutions
• Filed liens
• Surveys
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Stephanie Kubis Benedetto, Esq.
Howdy, please note that our office is closed today. We will be back on
Monday, April 6^th. Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Thank you for submitting your OPRA request. The Open

public access to government records in a reasonable amount
of time. However, the requester must identify the document
types or specific documents being requested and a date
range for those records. Please check that your request
indicates those pertinent information so that we can
respond to your request accordingly or we will have to
close this request.
Please note that we are experiencing higher numbers of
requests. Our staff still strive to respond to your
request(s) in a timely manner.

A message was sent to you regarding record request
#26-194:
Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7)
business days to fulfill. OPRA allows custodians to seek
extensions of time pursuant to N.J.S.A.
47:1A-5.i. Specifically, OPRA states that “the requester
shall be advised by the custodian when the record can be
made available. If the record is not made available by
that time, access shall be deemed denied.”
Due to staff transition, your request requires an
extension of time. Your request will now be responded to
on or before: 4/17/2026.
Thank you for your understanding.
