Opra Request
Dear Aberdeen Township,
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 12 months. Please also include in the list or separately a list of properties whose property tax bill was liened against the property.

Yours faithfully,
Nathan

Subject: FW: OPRA request - Opra Request
Hello,
I am following up with you regarding the OPRA request submitted via email
to the Municipal Clerk, Melissa Pfeifer. I will be responding to portion
of your request for Tax, Utility, Special charges (clean
up/demolition/grass cutting) or Tax sale/Lien information. Any other
information requested will be provided under separate cover by the
appropriate officer/department.
I apologize for the delay in this reply. I was out of the office during
the timeframe this was received, and apparently missed it when I came back
in. Based on what your requesting and what I am able to provide in the
form of a record, please find attached the following:
Property Taxes:
1. A copy of the tax sale list from our tax sale held on 10/30/2025.
Please note: this includes properties that went to sale for utility as
well, not just property taxes, but the charges are broke out by type
for each parcel so if you only want property taxes, you will be able
to pick them out.
2. A delinquent report as of today for property tax accounts
Utility: Water/Sewer/Fire Protection:
1. Lien info is included with property tax on the tax sale list noted
above
2. Delinquent utility report as of today for all utility accounts
3. An adjustment report reflecting any account charges turn on/off fees
over the past year.
