What is the time frame for municipal boards to mail an applicant a copy of its decision?

In New Jersey, municipal boards are required to mail a copy of their decision to an applicant within a specific time frame after the conclusion of a hearing. The correct time frame is 10 days. This requirement ensures that applicants are promptly informed of the board's decisions, allowing them to understand the outcome and, if necessary, to take further action, such as appealing the decision.

This requirement is part of the regulatory framework that aims to promote transparency and accountability in municipal decision-making processes. By mandating a 10-day period for notification, the law reflects an intention to balance the needs for timely communication with the administrative realities faced by municipal boards in formulating their responses following a hearing.
