EFFECTIVE APRIL
25, 2011
Are you current with taxes,
or other municipal service accounts?
If not, you will be denied a zoning and/or
building permit!
The Neighborhood Blight
Reclamation and Revitalization Act (the “Act”) – signed into law on
October 27, 2010, effective on April 25, 2011 – empowers municipalities to
take legal action against owners of deteriorating properties and deny
municipal permits in certain circumstances. The Act specifically provides
for action against property owners whose property is in serious code
violation or whose property is determined to be a public nuisance. The
Act also provides for municipalities to deny municipal permits (included
building permits and zoning approvals) to property owners who have other
property within the municipality in similar violation or who are behind in
taxes or other municipal service accounts such as water, sewer or refuse
collection. This tool allows municipalities to hold property owners
accountable for existing delinquencies or serious violations on other
properties. Property owners must remedy existing violations and/or
delinquencies with regard to other property they own in the municipality
prior to being granted municipal permits for future projects.
