Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 54:4-51
- Fixed Rate: Having a "fixed" rate means that the APR doesn't change based on fluctuations of some external rate (such as the "Prime Rate"). In other words, a fixed rate is a rate that is not a variable rate. A fixed APR can change over time, in several circumstances:
- You are late making a payment or commit some other default, triggering an increase to a penalty rate
- The bank changes the terms of your account and you do not reject the change.
- The rate expires (if the rate was fixed for only a certain period of time).
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
- taxing district: when used in a law relating to the assessment or collection of taxes, assessments or water rates or water rents, include every political division of the State, less than a county, whose inhabitants, governing body or officers have the power to levy taxes, assessments or rates. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
The excess amount so ascertained shall be credited to the municipality in the taxing district in reduction of the next payments to be made on account of the same tax or a tax for the same or a similar purpose. Notwithstanding such credit, the state tax at the fixed rate shall be levied and collected as if there were no such credit. The tax collections which by reason of such credit need not be paid to the county treasurer, shall be applied by the municipality in the same manner as collections of delinquent taxes.
