Bill Summary

This bill would reduce the time a municipality has to wait before acting to rehabilitate abandoned property under the "Abandoned Properties Rehabilitation Act," P.L.2003, c.210 (C.55:19-78 et al.). Currently, a property has to be unoccupied for six months before the municipality may designate the property abandoned and begin the process to take possession of the property under that law. This bill would reduce that timeframe to three months. The bill would help speed the rehabilitation of abandoned properties, which create a range of problems for the communities in which they are located.
