[Adopted 3-7-1990 as Ord. No. 1990-08]
As a condition for the issuance or renewal of
any license or permit issued by or requiring the approval of the Township
of Florence, the applicant, if he is the owner of the license or permit,
shall pay any delinquent property taxes or assessment on the property
wherein the business or activity for which the license or permit is
sought or wherein the business or activity is to be conducted, provided
that he is the owner of the property or has an ownership interest
in property.
When any licensee who is the owner of or maintains
an ownership interest in the property therein upon which the licensed
or permitted business or activity is conducted has failed to pay the
taxes or assessments due on the property for at least three consecutive
quarters, the license or permit shall be subject to revocation. Prior
to the revocation of the license or permit for failure to pay taxes,
the Township Clerk shall provide notice of the proposed revocation
of the license or permit at least 10 days prior to the effective date
thereof. Upon payment of the delinquent taxes or assessments prior
to the effective date, the notice to revoke the license or permit
shall be dismissed. Subsequent to revocation, the former licensee
must reapply for renewal of the license or permit.
The licensee or holder of a permit in the Township,
upon the receipt of a notice of revocation of that license or permit,
may appeal the proposed revocation to the Business Administrator,
who shall, within 30 days of said notice, provide a hearing for said
licensee or holder of a permit. No revocation shall occur during the
period prior to the hearing by the Business Administrator. Subsequent
to the hearing of the appeal, the Administrator shall render a final
decision in regard to revocation of the license or permit.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply
to or include any alcoholic beverage license or permit issued pursuant
to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, N.J.S.A. 33:1-1 et seq.
