This office received a request for information from you on June 13, 2022
to which we assigned the above referenced number used to log requests for
information under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA).
Attached please find the responsive records. Redactions have been made
according to N.J.S.A 47:1A-1.1.
Response from the Tax Collector’s Office: Please be advised that we are
responding to request items #1 and #3. We do not collect for utilities
(item #2).
In addition, our lien reports only show lien holder name and property
owner mailing addresses. The block and lot numbers identify the parcel
location.
The requesting party will need to refer to the tax maps to see property
locations.
In addition, the requesting party would need to contact the Assessor’s
office to find out the property class for these parcels. Our reports do
not indicate it.
#2 - There are no responsive records. Please contact the utility company
for inquiries.
There are no responsive records from the Tax Assessor’s Office.
Thank you,
