N.J. Stat. § 40:48C-36
As an additional remedy, the chief fiscal officer of the municipality adopting any ordinance hereunder may issue a certificate to the clerk of the Superior Court that any person is indebted under such ordinance in an amount as shall be stated in the certificate. Thereupon, the clerk to whom such certificate shall have been issued shall immediately enter upon his record of documented judgments the name of such person, the address of the place of business where such tax liability was incurred, the amount of the debt so certified and the date of making such entry. The making of the entries shall have the same force and effect as the entry of a documented judgment in the office of such clerk, and said fiscal officer shall have all the remedies and may take all the proceedings for the collection thereof which may be had or taken upon the recovery of a judgment in an action, but without prejudice to the taxpayer's right of appeal.
