N.J. Admin. Code § 18:23A-1.14

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024

Section 18:23A-1.14 - Dimensions and area of lots

(a) The deed width and depth dimensions of all lots shall be shown on properties assessed as lots.

(b) All deed dimensions of acreage lots are required.

(c) A scaled distance may be used where the deed distance is unknown and cannot be determined at a reasonable cost.

1. In the case where scaled distances are used, the indication (S) shall be used after the dimension, for example, 1505' (S). Distances determined by scaling should be rounded off to the nearest foot.

2. Where the deed distance is in conflict with the surveyed or scaled distance, the indication (D) shall be shown after the deed dimension, for example, 1666.26' (D).

3. All dimensions (not in conflict with surveyed or scaled distance) shall indicate deed dimensions. No abbreviation or rounding of deed dimensions is permitted. Dimensions shall be given in feet and hundredths of a foot, where possible. However, where deed dimensions indicate a distance to the center of a road, the calculated distance to the side line of the road or both, the centerline and the right-of-way distances shall be shown on the tax map. Frontage dimensions shall be taken and shown along the right-of-way of the road.

(d) The area of each lot over one acre shall be given in acres and hundredths of an acre (decimal form) where possible. Lots with areas of under one acre may show such acreage or square foot area if required.

(e) Deed areas may be used where substantially correct. Where the deed area is incorrect, the surveyed area should be shown, but the deed area may also be shown for comparative purposes. Example: 1600.60 Ac +/- (S). 1490.10 Ac +/- (D). It is necessary to deduct road areas from the deed area to obtain actual assessment areas.

(f) Even though several lots in different blocks are covered by one deed, the area of each lot shall be shown separately (See Standards, Page S10).

(g) Where a lot extends across a Detail Sheet border but does not go beyond the limit of the sheet, the entire lot shall be shown on that Detail Sheet. Remove borderline where lot extends beyond.

(h) Where a lot must be shown in part on two or more Detail Sheets, the word "Total" (or "T") shall be added to the acreage and dimensions to indicate that the acreage and dimensions shown include also that portion of the lot shown on other Detail Sheets (See Standards, Page S5).

(i) Overlapping lot lines and dimensions shall be shown in accordance with descriptions appearing in the last deed of record for each parcel. All lines in an overlap area are to be dashed (See Standards, Pages S34 and S35). In addition, a reference note locating the overlap by block and lot numbers is required.

(j) All gores require a lot number.

(k) Any lot with a partial lease shall have the leased areas indicated with dashed lines (including dimensions). If areas are larger than one acre, the acreage must be shown (See Standards, Pages S1 and S37).
