No license or permit, including any renewal thereof, shall be issued
to any person, persons or corporation who or which is either the owner of

Upon payment by the licensee or permittee of all delinquent taxes or
assessments on the property upon which the licensed activity or business is
conducted, said license or permit shall thereafter be issued if there is no
other basis for denial.

be considered delinquent when they have not been paid in a timely fashion,
pursuant to the requirements of N.J.S.A. 54:4-66.

Tax Collector of the Township of Hamilton or any other properly authenticated
document executed by the Tax Collector which declares that the local real
property taxes and assessments on the real property in question are current.

beverage license or permit issued pursuant to the Alcoholic Beverage Control
