[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Camden
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 2-28-1991 by Ord. No. MC-2634 (Ch. 442, Art. I,
of the 1987 Code)]
The proper officers of the City of Camden shall refuse to issue
or reissue a certificate of rental approval to any person whose name
shall appear on the last tax duplicate prepared by the City Assessor
or the owner of the land and building on, in or through which the
activity or business to be approved is or shall be conducted so long
as there may exist delinquent property taxes or assessment on the
affected real property.
The reasons for which the City of Camden may suspend a certificate
of rental approval and the reasons for which a certificate of rental
approval may be revoked by the City of Camden shall include the nonpayment
of three consecutive installments of taxes or assessments by the certificate
of rental approval holder whose name shall appear on the last tax
duplicate prepared by the Assessor as the owner of the lands and buildings
on, in or through which the activity or business is or shall be conducted.
Upon payment of the delinquent taxes or assessment, the certificate
of rental approval shall be restored.
A person conducting a business on the premises shall be deemed
to be the owner of the lands and the buildings if that person controls
or is controlled by or under the common control of the owner of these
lands and buildings by reason of that person's participation
in a corporation, partnership or another form of business association
or trust or is related by blood or marriage to the person controlling
or controlled by or under the common control of the owner of the lands
and/or buildings. Persons deemed to be related for the purposes of
this article are grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, spouses,
fathers- and mothers-in-law, brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces
and nephews. The ownership of less than 50% interest in a business
entity or trust shall not in and of itself be deemed to be a determination
of whether a person controls a business entity for trust, but shall
be considered with any other factors which indicate an affiliation
between persons with an interest in the business.
