[HISTORY: Adopted by the Governing Body of the Borough of Allendale
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 11-8-1990]
A new article is hereby established providing procedures for issuance
or renewal of licenses or permits in the manner following:
A.
An "applicant," "licensee" or "permittee" is hereby defined
as any person, partnership, corporation or other entity to whom a license
or permit is issued by the Borough of Allendale or any agency or department
thereof.
B.
Any applicant who requests the issuance, reissuance or
renewal of any license or permit issued by or requiring the approval of the
Borough Council or of any agency or department of the borough shall be required
to pay any delinquent property taxes or assessments if he is the owner of
the property where the business or activity is located prior to the issuance,
reissuance or renewal of any license or permit.
C.
Any license or permit issued by the Borough Council or
any permit issued by any agency or department of the borough may be revoked
or suspended by the Borough Council when any licensee or permittee, who is
an owner of the property upon which the licensed business or activity is conducted,
has failed to pay the taxes due on the property for at least three consecutive
quarters.
A.
The Tax Collector shall advise the Borough Council, in
writing, 30 days after any property owner, who is also a licensee or permittee,
has failed to pay real property taxes for three consecutive quarters and serve
notice upon the owner of the deficiency, by certified mail, with a request
for payment and a copy of this article.
B.
In the event that the owner does not pay the delinquent
taxes entirely, plus interest and penalties permitted by law, then the Borough
Council may, at a regular public meeting of that body, schedule a hearing
to revoke or suspend a license or permit. The Borough Council shall provide
at least 10 days' written notice to the owner of the public hearing,
including the time and place of the same. All hearings shall be conducted
in public, and the owner shall be provided an opportunity to present his defense.
The decision of the Council shall be by written resolution and a copy served
upon the owner.
Upon payment of the delinquent taxes or assessment, the license or permit
shall be restored.
