New Jersey Acts Saved from Repeal ACTS SAVED 54 § 1-15(4)

4. Before ordering the preparation of a tax map for any township as provided in section three of this act the board of equalization of taxes shall give notice to the governing body of the township, and if within thirty days the governing body shall declare its intention to ask the voters to approve the preparation of a surveyed map, the board of equalization of taxes shall defer work on the outline map. The governing body of the township shall then submit the question whether a map shall be prepared by survey, for the entire township or for a specified part or parts thereof, and an appropriation sufficient therefor, to the qualified voters of the township at the next general election. If a majority of the voters then approve the preparation of said map, work shall be commenced within six months and maps shall be completed within two years, and if not so commenced or completed may be prepared by the board of equalization in the manner prescribed in section one of this act.

If the governing body of any township fails to submit the question to the voters, or if the voters do not approve the preparation of a surveyed map, and appropriation therefor, the board of equalization shall thereupon proceed to prepare a map in the form prescribed in section two of this act.
