The applicant who is requesting any permits, licenses, or utility
services, owns property, or who wishes to do any business with the
Town of Ocean View must disclose all names of entities, properties,
or any necessary information to the Town so it can do research to
ensure there are no outstanding debts owed by the individual or any
partnership, LLC, or corporation to which the applicant has a connection.
An individual must disclose all names under which he or she may have
previously done business with the Town of Ocean View.
Any department head with authority to accept applications and

first determine that the applicant is current on and not in default
of certain obligations owed to the Town.
