S 4920 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises notice requirements for certain local land use hearings to at least 21 days.

This bill (S 4920) increases the required notice period for certain local land use hearings from 10 to 21 days before the hearing. It directly affects property owners within 200 feet of proposed developments, requiring municipalities to mail written notice of hearings to their last known addresses. The bill amends two key statutes: R.S.40:49-6 (for ordinances on local improvements) and Section 7.1 of P.L.1975, c.291 (for development applications). The change applies to hearings involving street changes, property assessments, and most development approvals, ensuring affected residents have more time to prepare.
