WHEREAS, The 2016 Sale for unpaid municipal charges was held on 9/30/16 and Tax Sale Certificate #16-00120 was sold against Block 8001 Lot 5.430 on 504 Geranium Court in the amount of $251.37 for unpaid MUA water and sewer charges to a third party lien holder; and
WHEREAS, the property owner had filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on 8/29/2016 prior to the Sale for unpaid municipal charges; and

The Tax Collector is directed to collect back the monies paid to the MUA from the sale in the amount of $236.37 to be deposited in the Collectors Lien Trust Account.

The Tax Collector is directed to request the Lien Holder surrender Certificate #16-000120 properly endorsed for cancellation and pay the lien holder $251.52 from the Collectors Lien Trust Account.
The Tax Collector is then directed to mark the lien as cancelled on the Township tax records.
