OPRA Request

The request was successful.

Dear Livingston Township,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:

1. A list of properties that, as of today, have delinquent property taxes and open property liens. If the property owner currently has an unpaid tax balance or has an open lien on the property, please add them to the list. This list needs to include amounts of balances owed.

2. A list of properties that have received any code violations since the beginning of the year. Please provide the type of violation.

3. A list of all properties that are currently vacant or abandoned. If the property used to be vacant and no longer is, please do not include.

4. A list of all residential properties that have gone into probate since the beginning of the year.

Please put all lists in separate Excel files. PDF is okay too. If up-to-date data is not available, please provide the most recently available information.

Yours faithfully,

Nathan Stallone

Dear Renee Resky,

Do you have the records of tax delinquent property addresses? I've only received properties with a tax lien against them. Also I would like the records of vacant property addresses.

Yours sincerely,

Nathan Stallone
