[1988 Code § 67-1]
The purpose of this chapter is to provide, through the certification process, an orderly and convenient method of inspection of buildings to determine compliance with the local Zoning Ordinance (Chapter
150) and to assist the Tax Assessor in updating the property record cards.
[1988 Code § 67-3]
A certificate of land use compliance is not required for transfers
of new construction, provided that the original certificate of occupancy
was issued within 18 months of the transfer of the property.
[1988 Code § 67-4]
In the event that there is a tenant under an existing lease
at the time of a transfer of title, such tenant shall be permitted
to continue his or her occupancy; however, the transfer of title shall
not be permitted until the certificate of land use compliance has
been obtained. The tenant shall cooperate with the landlord in connection
with any necessary alterations required to obtain the certificate.
[1988 Code § 67-5]
Before a certificate of land use compliance shall be issued,
the Zoning Officer or his designee shall make an inspection of the
premises to determine if the structure, part of a structure or unit
complies with the Zoning Ordinance of the Borough of Cape May Point.
The Certificate will only be issued if the property so complies. The
Tax Assessor or his designee may accompany the inspecting personnel
for the purpose of obtaining information for tax assessment purposes.
[1988 Code § 67-6; Ord. No. 490-04]
Applications for a certificate of land use compliance shall
be submitted to the Zoning Officer of the Borough, and the certificate
will either be issued or rejected within 10 business days of the receipt
of the application. The fee for a certificate of land use compliance
shall be $70 per unit, whether such unit is a dwelling unit or a business
or commercial unit, not to exceed $200 for the building, and shall
be payable upon submission of an application therefor.
[1988 Code § 67-7]
A certificate of land use compliance shall be valid for a period
of 180 days after issuance but shall only be valid for one transfer
of the subject property.
