We have received your Open Public Records Act Request. Please be advised
the Borough of Belmar now uses an online OPRA portal
[1]https://belmarborough.nextrequest.com/. Your request will be uploaded
into this portal and you will receive an email confirmation. From there
you can finish creating your account so you can access your request. Your
request will be answered through this portal. In the future please submit
your requests directly in the portal. Thank you.

Note: Effective September 3, 2024, P.L. 2024, c. 16 requires all agencies
subject to OPRA to “adopt the form established by the Government Records
Council . . . for the use of any person who requests access to a
government record held or controlled by the public agency.” N.J.S.A.
47:1A-5(f).

 In accordance with this new requirement, the Government Records Council
(“GRC”) has established an updated version of the old "Model OPRA request
form" to include the following required items:

1) certifiable statements addressing commercial purpose and pending
litigation have been added to the “Requestor Information” box.

2) new and amended exemptions have been added to the “Reasons for Denial”
list, and

3) the information page has been changed to reflect relevant new and
amended provisions.

Requestors are not required to use an OPRA form, however, a written
equivalent not containing the form requirement of N.J.S.A 47:1A-5(f) and
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g) may be denied by a custodian.

Dear Belmar 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-6(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 use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:
Tax Delinquent
- A list of all property addresses that have an unpaid property tax bill
for the last 6 months. Please also include in the list or separately a
list of properties whose property tax bill was liened against the
property.

Water Shut Off / Utility Liens
- 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 in the last 12 months.

Fire Damage List
- A list of all property addresses that the fire department has received
an emergency call to in the last 90 days.

Code Violation
- A list of property addresses that have received any code violations in
the last 6 months

Vacant List
- A list of all properties that the city deems to be currently vacant or
abandoned.

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,

Nathan
