Protect Your Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Refund

By Kevin J. Moore

Developers who have obtained or will obtain a preliminary or final site plan approval for a non-residential development on or after July 1, 2013 and before January 1, 2015 and who have paid the Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee to the municipality or the State, as applicable, will be entitled to a refund of their payment if the Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee moratorium bill (S-1011/A-1907) becomes law.  The bill has passed both houses of the New Jersey Legislature and is currently awaiting the Governor's signature.

Duration and Extensions of Permits and Approvals Extended by the New Jersey Permit Extension Act

 By Kevin J. Moore and Andrew Robins

I.  In General

It seems unlikely that the New Jersey Legislature will further extend the "Extension Period" of the Permit Extension Act (the "Act") beyond December 31st of this year. Therefore, property owners and developers, with approvals which the Act extends, need to determine when these approvals or their periods of protection expire and what they can do to further extend these approvals.
