The City of Camden requires that a Camden Resale Occupancy Certificate shall be applied for and issued prior to the sale or conveyance of any property within the city. The application is the responsibility of the seller. The buyer, with sellers written permission, may submit the application as their agent. However, the certificate goes to the BUYER NOT THE SELLER. A C.R.O.C certificate is necessary wherever there is a change of ownership (building is being sold) not when there is a change of occupancy (renting the property to a new tenant) for change of occupancy contact Housing Department 856-757-7075. The fee to apply for a C.R.O.C is $200.00. The fee DOES NOT include the Fire Safety fee of $64.00. The application is good for 6 months. After 6 months a new application must be filled out and paid for, unless there are open permits.
If a buyer fails to obtain a C.R.O.C and closes title, the buyer shall remain liable for all penalties until a C.R.O.C is issued. Penalties up to $2,000.00, may be levied by the Building Bureau.
