Good Afternoon Mr. Omar,
Please find attached information regarding the below OPRA request, numbers 5 and 7.
This leaves open numbers 1,2, and 4, which will be answered when the tax assessor returns to her office on July 7, 2022 or shortly thereafter.
Thank you,
Esther Mitchell, Clerk
Hello Mr. Omar,
The tax assessor does not have a listing of residential properties that are marked as "Vacant and/or Abandoned". Also, the Township repealed the registration ordinance of such properties early this year. 2. There are no residential properties that are marked as "Condemned". 4. There are no residential properties marked "Fire Damaged".
I believe this closes out your OPRA request.
Thank you,
Esther Mitchell
