[Ord. No. 04-12 § 21-6.11]
All hearings requiring a public notice shall meet the following requirements:
a. 
The public notice of the hearing shall be given to the owners of all real property within the State of New Jersey shown on the current tax duplicate located within 200 feet in all directions of the property which is the subject of such hearing. Notice shall be given by serving a copy thereof on the property owner as shown on said current tax duplicate, or his agent in charge of the property or by mailing a copy thereof by certified mail to the property owner at his address as shown on the said current tax duplicate. Notice to a partnership owner may be made by service upon any partner. Notice to a corporate owner may be made by service upon its president, a vice president, secretary or other person authorized by appointment or by law to accept service on behalf of the corporation. This requirement shall be deemed satisfied by notice to the condominium association, in the case of any unit whose unit has a unit above or below it, or to the horizontal property regime, in the case of any co-owner whose apartment has an apartment above or below it. Notice to a condominium association, horizontal property regime, community trust or homeowner's association, because of its ownership of common elements or areas located within 200 feet of the property which is the subject of the hearing, may be made in the same manner as to a corporation without further notice to unit owners, co-owners, or homeowners on account of such common elements or areas.
b. 
Notice of all hearings on applications for development involving property located within 200 feet of an adjoining municipality shall be given by personal service or certified mail to the clerk of such municipality.
c. 
Notice shall be given by personal service or certified mail to the County Planning Board of a hearing on an application for development of property adjacent to an existing County road or proposed road shown on the Official County Map or on the County Master Plan adjoining other County land or situated within 200 feet of a municipal boundary.

f. 
Upon the written request of an applicant, the administrative officer of a municipality shall, within seven days, make and certify a list from said current tax duplicates of names and addresses of owners to whom the applicant is required to give notice pursuant to paragraph a of this subsection. The applicant shall be entitled to rely upon the information contained in such list and failure to give notice to any owner not on the list shall not invalidate any hearing or proceeding. A fee pursuant to Subsection 21-7.1e shall be charged for such list.
g. 
The applicant shall file an affidavit of proof of service with the municipal agency holding the hearing on the application for development in the event that the applicant is required to give notice pursuant to this subsection.
