Action to compel payment of taxes

Any tax which has accrued under chapters thirty-three to thirty-six, inclusive, of this Title (s. 54:33-1 et seq.), and has not been paid, shall be sued for and shall be recoverable and the lien thereof, if any, shall be enforceable, by action instituted in the Superior Court, by and in the name of the Director of the Division of Taxation, Department of the Treasury. No issue which would have been cognizable on an appeal from the assessment of the tax under the provisions of section 54:34-13 of the Revised Statutes shall be heard or decided in the action for the collection of the tax and enforcement of the lien under the provisions of this section.

A judgment entered in any such action shall have the same effect as other judgments entered in the Superior Court and shall constitute a lien, and execution shall issue thereon.
