As a condition for the issuance or renewal of
any license or permit issued by or requiring the approval of the Township

permit is sought wherein the business or activity is to be conducted.
[Amended 12-28-2015 by Ord. No. 1235]
Any license or permit issued by the Township or any permit issued by any agency or department of the Township under the provisions of this chapter may be revoked or suspended by the governing body where there has been a failure to pay the taxes due on the property for at least three consecutive quarters. The payment of tax provision shall apply to all licenses required under this chapter, including a license of a land owner for the rental of properties to a tenant-operated business. However, a property owner’s failure to pay property taxes will not jeopardize or impact the status of any license(s) or permit(s) of said owner’s tenant(s) or be a cause for any revocation or suspension of the tenant’s license or permit. (See Article
IV of this chapter.)
In the event that a license has been revoked
or suspended by the governing body under the authority of this article,
the license or permit shall be restored by the governing body at its
next regularly scheduled governing body meeting upon submission to
it of evidence of payment of the delinquent taxes or assessments together
with all interest and penalties.
The provisions of this article shall not apply
to or include any alcoholic beverage license or permit issued pursuant
to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.
