The license and inspections fees per annum shall be the sum
of $13 per pad. Said fees are hereby expressly declared to be imposed
for regulation and revenue and shall be payable in advance.
The municipal services fee shall be collected by the mobile home
park owner in which a mobile home is located. The mobile home park
owner shall issue a receipt to the mobile home owner upon collection
of the fee.
The park owner shall transmit the appropriate fee for each occupied
space whether or not the home is occupied, and a copy of a receipt
issued for each fee shall be transmitted to the Tax Collector. Said
payment shall be paid at least once per month no later than the 10th
day of each month by the park owner to the municipality.
Any fee imposed by this section which shall remain unpaid after 10
days from when it is due shall be deemed delinquent. Delinquent fees
shall bear an interest rate of 18% per annum to be charged to the
mobile home owner for nonpayment or the mobile home park owner for
failure to transmit such fees in accordance with this section. Delinquent
fees which remain unpaid after 30 days shall become a municipal lien
against the real property upon which the mobile home park is situated.
Such municipal lien may be enforced by the Township Tax Collector
by selling the property in the manner set forth in N.J.S.A. 54:5-19.
The municipal service fee shall be established annually at the time
that the municipal tax rate is established. The fee shall be calculated
as follows:
Adjusted municipal budget appropriations (AMBA) shall be the local
municipal budget appropriations less anticipated surplus, miscellaneous
revenues, receipts from delinquent taxes and tax revenues from nonresidential
uses.
The municipal service fee, to the extent it constitutes a new or increased fee, may constitute a rent surcharge collectible in addition to any surcharge or increase permitted under Article I of Chapter 204.
The mobile home park owner shall pay to the Township Tax Collector
each month, as set forth above, the municipal service fee for every
mobile home located within the mobile home park regardless of whether
the mobile home is occupied or whether the mobile home owner pays
the municipal service fee to the mobile home park owner.
The mobile home owners shall pay the municipal service fee to the
mobile home park owner as set forth above, in an amount equal to 1/12
of the yearly amount, on the first day of each month.
All municipal service fees, paid monthly, and submitted to the Township
Tax Collector, shall be submitted with a list identifying all mobile
home spaces/pads that are rented including current tenant information.

and responsible party address if different than mobile home address.
