New Jersey § 52:27-29

§ 52:27-29.

Any municipality in which the commission is functioning may, with the approval of

the commission, accept its own bonds and the bonds of the board of education of a

coterminous school district, in payment of all or any part of the purchase price of

tax title liens and assessment title liens held by such municipality or in payment

of all or any part of the purchase price of real property acquired by such municipality

through the foreclosure of such tax title liens and assessment title liens and may

exchange such tax title liens and assessment title liens and such real property for

such bonds at such times and for such prices as the governing body of such municipality

shall determine, subject to the approval of the commission. Such municipalities and boards of education may issue refunding bonds in the manner

now or hereafter provided in this chapter or any other law for the purpose of refunding

all or any part of the balance due to the holders of the bonds presented in payment

of such tax title liens and assessment title liens or such real property, and such

municipalities and boards of education may also issue nontransferable, noninterest-bearing

tax payment certificates in such denominations as may be determined by such municipalities

and such boards of education for the purpose of refunding all or any part of the balance

due to the holders of the bonds presented in payment of such tax title liens and assessment

title liens or such real property, which tax payment certificates shall not be payable

in cash but shall be acceptable at their face value in payment of future taxes levied

by the state, county or municipality and school district for state, county, local

municipal and school district purposes; provided, that such tax payment certificates

shall recite on their face that they are nontransferable and noninterest-bearing and

not payable in cash but acceptable at their face value only in payment of such future

taxes, and provided further that the issuance of such refunding bonds and of such

tax payment certificates be approved by the commission. It is the intention of this section that such municipalities and boards of education

may issue both refunding bonds and tax payment certificates as herein above provided

in such proportions as may be determined by them, or may issue such refunding bonds

only or such tax payment certificates only, as may be determined by them, in payment

of all or any part of the balance due to the holders of the bonds presented in payment

of the purchase price of such tax title liens and assessment title liens or such real

property. Tax payment certificates issued under this section shall be authorized and issued

in accordance with the procedure for the issuance of refunding bonds, and may be in

such form as shall be determined by the governing body of the municipality, and shall

be signed by such officers as may be designated by such governing body. No municipality may avail itself of the authority contained in this section for the

acceptance of bonds in payment of the purchase price of real property and tax title

liens and assessment title liens except that the sale of such property and liens shall

be an integral part of the comprehensive refunding program, which program shall have

received the consent of the holders of at least eighty-five per cent of the amount

of bonds outstanding.
