A 800 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns valuation of property condemned for dune construction or beach replenishment.

This bill (A800) changes how New Jersey compensates beachfront property owners when the government takes land for dune construction or beach replenishment projects. It requires compensation to include the increased property value from added safety and protection provided by the dunes or replenished beach, not just the value lost from the taken portion. The bill also states that public access rights arising from these projects cannot be used to reduce the property's overall compensation value. It directly affects coastal property owners in New Jersey whose land is condemned for these specific public safety projects. The law applies immediately to all pending cases.
