40:48-7.1. Tax credit for properties with service charges payable to other municipality
Whenever any municipality undertakes the construction and installation of sewerage facilities within the municipality as a general improvement to be paid for by general taxation, rather than by special assessments levied against the real property benefited thereby, and there exists within the municipality certain tracts or parcels of real property which are connected to a sanitary sewerage system for which service charges are paid to another municipality and that system will not be serviced by such facilities, the governing body of the municipality constructing and installing such facilities may, by ordinance, provide for the granting of a tax credit to be applied against the real property tax annually assessed against such tracts or parcels of real property. The tax credit shall be expressed as a percentage of that portion of the tax assessed against such tracts or parcels of real property which represent assessments for the construction, operation and maintenance of the sewerage facilities to be constructed and installed by the municipality. Such percentage shall be in such amount as the governing body shall deem to be equitable and just but in no event in excess of 100% of the amount of the taxes so assessed.
