How many days do you have to file adopted master plan changes with the county planning board?

Filing adopted master plan changes with the county planning board is governed by specific regulations within New Jersey's municipal land use law. A municipality is required to file any changes to the master plan within 30 days after the changes have been formally adopted. This requirement ensures that the county planning board is informed of the updates, which allows them to incorporate these changes into regional planning and coordination processes.

Adhering to this timeframe is crucial for maintaining clear communication and collaboration between municipalities and counties, which ultimately supports effective land use planning and implementation. The timeline of 30 days is standard practice and reflects the state’s commitment to keeping planning processes inclusive and up to date for all stakeholders involved.
