On July 27, 2009 Governor Corzine signed the NJ Economic Stimulus Act of 2009
into law. Part of this law temporarily suspends the Non-Residential Development
Fee Act described below. Projects that receive preliminary or final site plan
approval prior to July 1, 2010, and for which a building permit is issued prior
to January 1, 2013 will not be subject to any non-residential development fee.
Also, any developer that has paid a non-residential development fee since
July 17, 2008 may claim a refund based on certain criteria (see the notice
above for more specific information) in writing by November 30, 2009.
A municipality may seek reimbursement from the State for any development
fee refunds issued, no later than March 30, 2010.
A notice as to the impact of this legislation on the collection of the Development Fee and a refund of some or all of the fees previously paid is posted at, http://www.state.nj.us/dca/affiliates/coah/regulations/nrdf.html.
