Subject: OPRA request - OPRA Request – Outstanding Tax Sale Certificates
that have not been redeemed.

Dear Bloomfield 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-5(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:

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et
seq.), I respectfully request access to records maintained by the Tax
Collector’s Office reflecting all tax sale certificates sold between
January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2025 that remain unredeemed as of the
date this request is fulfilled.

For each certificate, please include the property address, block and lot,
certificate number, sale date, purchaser name, and original lien amount,
if available.

If maintained by your office, please also provide any report, list, or
record identifying tax sale certificates that are currently outstanding or
unredeemed.

I request that these records be provided in electronic format (Excel, CSV,
or searchable PDF) if available.

If any portion of this request is denied, please cite the specific
statutory exemption under OPRA supporting the denial.

Yours faithfully,

Nakia Thomas
