Authorizes municipality to deliver property tax bills, construction permits, and receipts for payment via e-mail.
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to offer residents and businesses the option to receive property tax bills, construction permits, and payment receipts via email instead of paper mail. Municipalities must adopt an ordinance to enable this service but cannot require it or eliminate paper delivery. Taxpayers and permit applicants may continue to receive all documents by regular mail at no extra cost, ensuring no one is forced to use electronic delivery. The bill establishes a state procedure for implementation but does not mandate email use for any documents. It directly affects local governments and their constituents who interact with municipal billing or permitting systems.
