[Adopted 10-13-1992 by Ord. No. 248-1992; amended in its entirety 5-26-2015 by Ord. No. 6-2015]
A.
When members
of the public make requests of the Township to purchase land, it is
necessary for various administrative tasks to take place prior to
the processing of the actual sales, and the requested property has
to be reviewed by many of the municipal departments to establish,
among other things, value, public need, etc. It is necessary to charge
an application fee in order to assist in the payment of administrative
costs involved in the processing of a land sale request.
B.
A nonrefundable
application fee of $75 shall be made payable to the Township of Buena
Vista upon the filing of a completed land sale request to the Township
Clerk.
C.
A deposit
of $100 shall be made payable to the Township of Buena Vista at the
time of the filing of a land sale request to the Township Clerk. This
deposit will be deducted from the final purchase price of the property
once the applicant is the successful bidder. If the applicant is not
the successful bidder, the Township decides not to sell, the applicant
decides, in writing, prior to initiating a public land sale, that
he/she wishes not to purchase the property, or the title search is
not clear, then the deposit of $100, minus any expenses, will be refunded
to the applicant.
D.
All sales
shall be conducted in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:12-13.
