a. No abatement shall be granted pursuant to this act except upon written application filed with the assessor of the taxing district wherein the improvement or conversion alteration is made and approved by the assessor or by ordinance, as required by the enabling ordinance. Every application shall be on a form prescribed by the Director of the Division of Taxation, in the Department of the Treasury, and provided for the use of claimants by the governing body of the municipality constituting the taxing district, and shall be filed with the assessor within 30 days, including Saturdays and Sundays, following the completion of the improvement or conversion alteration or the effective date of this act, whichever is later. Every application for an abatement which is filed within the time specified may be approved and allowed by the assessor to the degree that the application is consistent with the provisions of the enabling ordinance, provided that the property for which the application is made constitutes qualified residential property pursuant to the provisions of this act. An abatement that is granted shall take effect upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy to the owner and it shall be recorded and made a permanent part of the official tax records of the taxing district, which record shall contain a notice of the termination date of the abatement.
