2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:27BB-76 - Inactive lists; preparation and effect

52:27BB-76. Inactive lists; preparation and effect  (a) After the board orders the preparation of tax lists pursuant to its powers under sections seventy-four and seventy-five of this act, the collector shall for each year prepare and certify to the county board of taxation a list of all properties, real and personal, upon which no tax payments have been made during the three fiscal years immediately preceding, to be known as the "inactive list." In each municipality in which the collector is required by this section to prepare an inactive list, the assessor shall file his duplicate with the collector at least ten days before he is required to file his assessment list and duplicate with the county board of taxation. The collector shall indicate by a check mark in the left-hand margin of each page at the appropriate lines those properties which are on his inactive list. The collector shall attend before the county board of taxation upon two days' notice from the county board, but not less than ten days after the duplicate is delivered to him, and at such time he shall file with the board the assessor's duplicate, together with his complete inactive list and a true copy thereof, such list and copy to be verified by affidavit of the collector. The county board shall cause the inactive list and the copy thereof to be annexed to the appropriate tax list and duplicate, respectively. (b) The county board of taxation shall deduct from the valuations upon the assessor's tax list and duplicate the aggregate valuations of properties appearing upon inactive lists prior to fixing and adjusting the amount of State, State school and county tax to be levied in each taxing district and prior to causing the tax rate to be entered as provided by law. The amount of tax at the rate so entered, however, shall also be extended on the tax duplicates against each assessment on the inactive lists, and shall be and remain payable and enforceable in accordance with the provisions of Title 54 of the Revised Statutes. The table of aggregates, as required by section 54:4-52 of the Revised Statutes, shall not include items appearing upon the inactive lists. (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve an assessor of any duty or obligation otherwise imposed by law, except that an assessor shall not incur any penalty for failure to file his duplicate with the county board of taxation during such period and only so long as it is actually in the physical possession of the collector pursuant to this act.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:27BBB-2.1 - Findings, declarations relative to "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act"

52:27BBB-2.1 Findings, declarations relative to "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act"  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: a. The court decision striking certain provisions of P.L.2002, c.43 requires the Legislature to clarify its intent in approving that act; b. The court's interpretation of P.L.2002, c.43 is contrary to the intent of the Legislature and as a result, amendatory legislation removing any question regarding the intent, scope and applicability of that act is appropriate; c. It is also important to clarify and expand upon a legislative intent of focusing redevelopment efforts in qualified municipalities by ensuring that the expenditure of public dollars for development and redevelopment is coordinated with the expenditure of public dollars supporting schools and educational efforts in such municipalities; and d. Given the magnitude of the State's investment in a qualified municipality, it is incumbent upon the State to take the appropriate steps necessary to ensure effective governance at the school district level in addition to effective governance at the municipal level. Not only will limited school district oversight ensure the coordinated expenditures of public funds, it will ensure that the proposed local tax levy to support the district's schools will not further burden the municipal tax base. Additionally, this oversight will assist the district in improving the quality of education provided to students in the municipality. Enhancing educational quality will, in turn, assist housing revitalization by attracting new families to the community and preventing flight of current residents. It will also serve to attract new businesses and potential employers because the community can offer better-prepared graduates to the workforce. L.2002,c.108,s.1.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 52 - State Government, Departments and Officers|Section 52:27BBB-2.2 - Findings, declarations relative to urban revitalization.

52:27BBB-2.2 Findings, declarations relative to urban revitalization.  1. The Legislature finds and declares: a. The "Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act," P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-1 et al.), provides for the appointment of a chief operating officer in a qualified municipality for a five-year period, referred to in that law as the rehabilitation term; b. As of the effective date of P.L.2007, c.176 (C.52:27BBB-2.2 et al.), that 2002 act has been implemented in one municipality in the State; c. The fourth-year report of the chief operating officer appointed in that municipality, required pursuant to section 8 of P.L.2002, c.43 (C.52:27BBB-8), recommended an extension of the rehabilitation term to allow for the implementation of the reforms anticipated by P.L.2002, c.43; and d. Given the detailed assessment and recommendation in that fourth-year report, it is apparent that under certain circumstances a 10-year rehabilitation term is a more realistic period within which government reform may be effectuated in a qualified municipality. L.2007, c.176, s.1.
