Dear Plainfield City,
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 NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
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.
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), I respectfully request access to the following government records:
A copy of the tax sale certificate list for all certificates sold at the 2023 and 2024 municipal tax sales, including block/lot, property address, certificate number, sale date, purchaser name, and lien amount.
A report or record reflecting the current redemption status of those certificates, including whether each certificate has been redeemed or remains outstanding, as of the date this request is fulfilled.
Any record maintained by the Tax Collector identifying open tax sale certificates that remain unredeemed as of the date of fulfillment of this request.
