Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 54:4-1.11

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
  • Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
The assessment, collection, apportionment, and payment of the real property tax imposed by section 1, the attachment of the lien for such taxes, the right of appeal, the entitlement to a proportionate cancellation of the assessment, and the authority granted to municipalities to anticipate taxes to be collected shall be governed by the procedures provided for the administration of leasehold estates owned by tax-exempt entities under sections 2 through 8 of P.L. 1949, c. 177 (C. 54:4-2.4 through C. 54:4-2.10).
