A 1042 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires local governing body and DCA to suspend collection of certificate of occupancy and related inspection fees for homes being rented by persons identified by FEMA as displaced individuals.

This bill suspends local and state fees for certificates of occupancy and related inspections for homes rented by individuals displaced by Hurricane Sandy (2012) and identified by FEMA. It applies to renters whose primary homes were destroyed by the hurricane, requiring municipalities and the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to halt fee collection for six months from the bill's enactment. Local governments may still charge these fees but must submit records to the State Treasurer for reimbursement from state funds. The suspension covers specific fees tied to housing safety certifications under existing state codes.
