Qualifications to Become a Volunteer Firefighter: KEY FIRE SAFETY TIPS, per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): Many home fires are preventable: Watch your cooking Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove. Give space heaters space Keep fixed and portable space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn. Turn off heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep. Smoke outside Ask smokers to smoke outside. Have sturdy, deep ashtrays for smokers. Keep matches and lighters out of reach Keep matches and lighters up high, out of the reach of children, preferably in a cabinet with a child lock. Inspect electrical cords Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs, or have loose connections. Be careful when using candles Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow out candles when you leave the room or go to sleep. Have a home fire escape plan Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. Install smoke alarms Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Interconnect smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. Test smoke alarms Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries once a year or when the alarm “chirps” to tell you the battery is low. Replace any smoke alarm that is more than 10 years old. Install sprinklers If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers. Sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive. Source: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®)

State law authorizes the collector to begin the Tax Sale process on January 1st but in Northvale, the sale is generally scheduled between June and December. The sale is advertised in The Record for four weeks. The Collector sells Tax Sale Certificates which are filed with the Bergen County Registry and become liens against the property. Investors who purchase the certificates have the right to pay the current tax, which becomes part of the lien. Investors also have the option to begin the foreclosure process after 2 years to take possession of the property. Tax Sale Certificates cannot be redeemed in partial payments. Property Tax Relief Programs Property Tax Relief Programs are offered through the State for qualified Senior Citizens and Disabled persons.
