The Township makes no representation as to any existing environmental conditions that may be applicable to the property. The successful Bidder shall be responsible for terminating any and all existing occupancy or tenancies.
3. The Township does not guarantee or warrant clear title to the property, and it is the successful Bidder’s responsibility to determine title through a Title Report. For this reason, only a Quit Claim Deed will be provided to the successful Bidder. It is recommended that all successful Bidders complete a Title Report to determine clear title can be passed. It is the successful Bidder’s responsibility to remove any and all existing liens or encumbrances that may exist on the property. The properties are being sold subject to existing encumbrances, liens, zoning regulations, easements, and any other restrictions that a title search would reveal. If the successful Bidder performs a Title Report and it is indicated the Township is unable to convey clear title, the deposit will be refunded.
4. The sale in no manner binds the Township to provide access or to improve any existing access and the Township makes no representation to any access that exists to the properties being sold.
5. All properties are located in the New Jersey Pinelands and subject to the Pinelands Comprehension Management Plan regulations.
6. Upon the close of Bidding, the highest qualified Bidder as designated by the Township Clerk shall submit cash or a certified check in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the Bid and shall immediately execute an Offer to Purchase at the Bid price, which Offer shall include the terms and conditions specified herein.
7. All adjacent property owners of undersized vacant lots will be given the first right to bid. Note that if the purchaser acquires the parcel as an adjacent property owner, it is being sold with the promise that purchaser will consolidate the lot with the contiguous parcel.

The confirmation of the sale by the Mayor and Township Committee shall be a complete acceptance of the Bid and, thereafter, within forty-five (45) days from said confirmation, the Closing must be completed by the successful Bidder. The Closing shall be scheduled with the Township Clerk. At the Closing, the successful Bidder will be required to pay all expenses, including the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) to cover legal fees, advertising, legal and recording fees and administrative costs incurred by the Township.

Failure to comply with any of the above requirements or to close on or before the date set forth hereinabove shall entitle the Township to rescind the prior Bid approval, terminate any and all rights of the designated Bidder in said property and retain all monies deposited. The Township reserves the right to withdraw any property from the sale list set forth herein prior to commencement of the sale.
