Good morning,

Your Open Public Records Act ("OPRA") request was received and routed to the Planning and Zoning Department. I was advised by Planning and Zoning parts of your request should come from the Assessor's Office. I will be forwarding the request to the Assessor's for additional response today. Your OPRA request is extended 7 business days beginning today and will be due June 7, 2023. Thank you for your patience.

Good afternoon Monica. 

The Assessors office is in receipt of your request for the township

with the information requested separately.  I have forwarded your request
to our vendor and he instructed me to forward you to him. 

Our vendor: BRT Technologies

Contact: Rob Letts at [email address] 

He will be waiting to hear from you.

I hope this helps.

Good Afternoon:

The Planning Dept received  this OPRA request and confirmed that the
information being requested would come from the Montclair Tax Assessor’s
office, who also received the OPRA request. The list of categories in the
OPRA are actually called “Property Class” codes and are a standard part of
the Tax Assessment record of each property. The Planning Dept. does not
have access to a database of properties that includes that Property Class
as a feature – the Tax Assessor does. The Tax Assessor’s records also
typically include a line item with the Zoning district listed and the
Number of Dwelling Units. The Planning Dept is not aware if the Tax
Assessor’s database can be converted to an Excel spreadsheet. That
information will come from the Tax Assessor.
