A 2144 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits sewerage authority from imposing connection fee in certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits sewerage authorities in New Jersey from charging new connection or tapping fees when redeveloping property that has been connected to the sewer system for 20 or more years. It applies even if the property was inactive for a period or if the redevelopment requires modifying the existing sewer connection. Property owners who paid such fees in protest before the law took effect are entitled to reimbursement from the sewerage authority. The law aims to reduce financial barriers to redeveloping vacant or obsolete properties that already contributed to the sewer system through prior fees or usage.
