Upon any subdivision or resubdivision of land in the Township
resulting in a lot or lots other than those delineated on the map,

the subdivision or resubdivision which shall be in proper numerical
sequence in relation to the number assigned to other lots fronting
on the same street, and he/she shall record same on the house numbering
map.
[Amended by Ord. No. 2002-20]

the Planning Board shall be recorded on the Tax Assessment Map unless

subdivided.
[Amended by Ord. No. 2002-20]

of the Tax Assessor, for the property, and to immediately affix the
number or numbers so assigned to the house, building or structure.

until the owner a procured from the Tax Assessor the official number
of proposed or existing house, building or structure. No certificate
of occupancy shall be issued for any house, building or structure
hereafter erected, enlarged or occupied until permanent and proper
number has been affixed.
