( WHITE TWP . , NJ ) – Warren County started the new year with a new system for making public records available , including posting more commonly requested records online .
   Changes include new online portals hosting the Warren County Health Department’s septic and well records , and another for submitting requests to the County under New Jersey’s Open Public Records Act , commonly referred to as OPRA . Access to these portals and links to other information is
   available through this website
    .
   “Warren County is committed to providing as much information online as possible . Uploading these documents and files eliminates archaic requests , reduces work on county staff and gives the public information they are entitled to , ” Commissioner Director James R . Kern III said .
   The Health Department’s public records portal contains all the department’s septic and well records searchable by Municipality , Address or Block & Lot , Warren County Health Officer Pete Summers explained , adding that the records are available for immediate review and download anytime .
   “The new portal will reduce the delay in obtaining septic records for homeowners , engineers and realtors . Records that might have taken hours or even days to obtain are now available in minutes whenever they are needed by the public , ” Summers noted .
   “The public may be pleasantly surprised to learn there are a number of records readily accessible to them without filing an OPRA request , ” said Holly Luberto of the Warren County Public Information Department , who took the lead on implementing the new OPRA request system for the County and updating the Public Records page on the website .
   Public Land Records , such as deeds , liens , and more , were already available through a searchable index of Warren County property records online , and can be accessed through the updated Public Records page on the county website , as well as through the Warren County Clerk’s Office section of the website .
   Some of the other commonly - sought records , including construction permits , Certificates of Occupancy , information on underground/above ground storage tanks , fire inspections , and vital records ( birth , marriage and death certificates ) are municipal , not county , records but the county page includes a link to find municipal contact information .
   The new portal for filing an OPRA request allows requestors to upload documents with their request . It also generates an automatic acknowledgment to let the requestor know the request has been received .
   If someone prefers to print out an OPRA request form , fill it out by hand and submit it on paper , the document is available online to download .
