What is the standard time frame for minor subdivision approvals to be considered before they expire?

The standard time frame for minor subdivision approvals in New Jersey is 190 days. This timeframe is set by law to ensure that applicants have a reasonable period to meet any conditions related to the subdivision approval, such as finalizing engineering plans or obtaining necessary permits. If the conditions are not met within this period, the approval effectively expires, which can lead to delays in the development process and necessitate resubmission of the application. Understanding this time frame is critical for planners as it impacts project timelines and the ability to maintain momentum in development efforts.
