Certificate required before transfer. No title transfers by an owner to any real property within the Borough shall take place unless and until the new resale certificate has been received from the office of the Zoning Officer for any existing structure located thereon and used for commercial or residential purposes. It shall be the obligation of the record owner of such real property to first obtain a new resale certificate before the transfer of title. No person, agents, servants, or representatives of any foregoing shall suffer or allow anyone to occupy any structure used for commercial or residential purposes within the Borough without obtaining a resale certificate.

Application; inspection. Before the transfer of title of any existing commercial or residential structure, the record owner shall apply for a new resale certificate in writing to the Zoning Officer or any other person designated by him. The applicant shall permit the Zoning Officer, or any other person designated by him, to enter upon and examine the structure or structures subject to the resale certificate application so that the Zoning Officer, or any other person designated by him, may determine if the structure conforms with the Zoning Ordinances of the Borough as a permitted use or, if not a permitted use, then determine if such structure exists as a valid nonconforming use. No resale certificate shall be issued until such inspection shall have been made and a certification filed with the Zoning Officer or the Deputy Zoning Officer, that the use for such building or buildings complies with the Zoning Ordinance of the Borough or is a valid pre-existing nonconforming use.

Filing; fee. The applicant must complete an application to be filed with the Zoning Officer and submit a fee of $75 per unit, a current plot plan, and a flood elevation certificate to be in the purchaser's name. A fee of $25 shall be submitted for each reinspection.

Exemption. The transfer of title to properties requiring certificates of zoning occupancy as outlined in paragraphs a and b shall be exempt from the provisions of this subsection if the transfer is between existing record owners together or if property passes by intestate succession or as the result of a Last Will and Testament.
