Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the Certificate of Resale package?
- Complete all applicable pages, provide the property and contact details, and include the $100 per-unit check payable to the Borough. The property owner must sign the sworn certificate before a notary. Follow the form’s inspection and submission instructions.
- Do I need to notarize every page?
- The Certificate in Lieu of Oath contains a notary jurat. The application also includes a separate smoke and carbon monoxide, fire door, and extinguisher affidavit, but its signature block does not show a notary requirement. Confirm with the municipality if unsure.
- Can I sign the sworn certificate online?
- New Jersey has permanently authorized remote online notarization and remote ink notarization for its own notaries since October 2021 (P.L. 2021, c.179, N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.9 et seq.). A commissioned online notary can notarize remotely when the notarial act and document are eligible.
- What happens after I submit the application?
- The form requests a $100 fee per unit and a contact person to meet the inspector. Inspections that fail may incur additional fees. The Borough states a CCO is issued only after open building permits are closed and taxes, penalties, and fees due are paid.
