54:4-2.2e. State's liability for in lieu tax payments; computation; limitations
After completion of the review of the assessments of State property, the director shall compute the State's liability for in lieu tax payments in each municipality affected. The in lieu payment shall be calculated by applying the effective local purpose tax rate of the municipality for the tax year 1977 and thereafter to the aggregate amount of State property, as defined in section 1, in the municipality and the sum of such calculations shall constitute the State's liability; provided, however, the State shall have no liability to any one municipality when the sum of its liability is less than $1,000.00, and no municipality shall receive an in lieu payment from the State greater than an amount equal to 35% of the local purpose tax levy, which for the purposes of this act shall include revenues which are used for municipal purposes and derived from tax abated properties, for the year for which the calculations are made; provided, however, that in any calendar year no municipality which receives or is entitled to receive any extraordinary payment for municipal services and in lieu of taxes under P.L.1977, c. 137 shall receive less under this act than the amount that it received under said P.L.1977, c. 137.
