Revises notice requirements for certain local land use hearings to at least 21 days.
This bill (NJ A3857) requires municipalities to mail notice of certain land use hearings to affected property owners at least 21 days before the hearing, up from the previous 10-day requirement. It directly affects property owners within 200 feet of proposed projects like street changes, property assessments, or development approvals. Key provisions mandate that notices must be mailed to the owner's last known address or a list they provide, and include details about the hearing date and location. The change applies to ordinances affecting land improvements, street vacating, or development approvals requiring public notice, as outlined in New Jersey's land use laws.
