S 4228 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes certain real property transfers without certain municipal transfer approvals and water testing.

This bill exempts involuntary real property transfers - such as those from foreclosures, tax sales, or bankruptcy - from requiring municipal transfer approvals (like certificates of occupancy) and water testing for 90 days after the transfer. Property owners acquiring property through these transfers are also exempt from local building, housing, and zoning enforcement during that period. For voluntary sales, municipalities must issue temporary transfer approvals (up to 90 days) if sellers and buyers certify the property is unoccupied and the buyer will address violations within 90 days. The bill overrides conflicting local laws to ensure these provisions apply uniformly across New Jersey.
