Any payment to a claimant by any insurance company of any claim
in excess of $2,500 for fire damage on any real property located within
the Borough of Lindenwold pursuant to any fire insurance policy issued
or reviewed after the effective date of this chapter is prohibited
until such time as all taxes and assessments and all other municipal
liens or charges due and payable appearing on the official certificate
of search shall have been paid by either the owner of the real property
or by the insurance company.
In the event that the Borough Council is satisfied that the
claim for fire damages is to be used to restore or improve the fire-damaged
property, Borough Council may, by resolution, enter into an agreement
with the property owner of any fire-damaged property to pay in full
all delinquent taxes, assessments or other municipal liens by installments
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:5-19 or for the redemption of the tax sale
lien by installment payments pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:5-65 et seq.
Upon adoption of this chapter, the Borough Clerk shall file
a certified copy of this chapter with the State Commissioner of Insurance.
