It is the purpose of this article to impose upon developers the costs
incurred by the City of Camden in updating the municipal Tax Map/GIS
database as a result of the approval of various subdivisions or the
creation of any new lots within the City of Camden. Said costs are
directly related to the development procedure, and thereby the City
of Camden determines that they should be borne by the developer/applicant
for all said subdivisions.
Tax Map/GIS database update fees. Each applicant and/or developer
for any approval which results in the creation of any new lots, revision
of any existing lots, and/or other alterations to the Tax Map/GIS
database shall be responsible for paying all reasonable charges incurred
by the City of Camden Engineer in updating said Tax Map/GIS database.
These costs shall include, but not be limited to, update to the GIS
database, revisions to existing Tax Map plates, creation/addition
of new Tax Map plates, appropriate revisions to the Key Map(s), reprographic
services for applicable City, county and state submission copies,
as well as any reasonable shipping and handling fees involved.
Once final subdivision and/or new lot approval has been received,
an escrow account shall be established by the applicant and maintained
by the City of Camden for the express purpose of maintaining the Tax
Map/GIS database. No construction permit shall be issued until said
costs are posted with the City of Camden, as outlined below:
Each lot/Tax Map revision due to deed discrepancies, lot line adjustments,
easement detailing, ownership labeling, acreage calculation and labeling,
street name changes and other minor revisions, including revisions
of adjacent plates involved: $45 per lot (deed protraction) or per
change.
If any portion of the escrow account remains unused following the
appropriate revisions to the Tax Map/GIS database, it shall be refunded
to the applicant.
In addition to the maintenance fees noted, each approved applicant
must supply a map of the new subdivision or new lot in a scale suitable
for inclusion on the City of Camden Tax Map/GIS database. Said map
must be submitted in both electronic and hardcopy formats, and must
be compliant with current New Jersey Map Filing Law guidelines (N.J.S.A.
46:23-1). All electronic file submissions must also conform to the
City of Camden Electronic Files Submission Ordinance.[1]
