A. 
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.

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.
A. 
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.

(1) 
Minor subdivisions (five lots or less): $65 per lot.

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.
B. 
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.
C. 
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]
