account in a recognized financial institution in the State of New
Jersey. He shall maintain an appropriate ledger book having at least

of all funds deposited in the account, the names of all persons for
whom the funds are or were held, the amount of such funds, the charges
or withdrawals for such amounts and the names of all persons to whom
such funds were disbursed. It shall also be the duty of the Municipal
Treasurer to identify the lot and block number for each deposit or
withdrawal.
B.Â
The applicant for development shall at all times maintain
a positive balance in the escrow account. When the Municipal Treasurer
receives approved vouchers which, if paid, will cause a negative balance,
he shall then inform the applicant for development who shall, within
10 calendar days, add sufficient moneys to the escrow account for
payment of the approved vouchers.

addition to the fees provided for the principal relief requested in
the application.[1]

A.Â
Purpose.
(1)Â
In Holmdel Builder's Association v. Holmdel Township, 121 N.J.
550 (1990), the New Jersey Supreme Court determined that mandatory
development fees are authorized by the Fair Housing Act of 1985 (the
Act), N.J.S.A. 52:27d-301 et seq., and the State Constitution, subject
to the Council on Affordable Housing's (COAH's) adoption of rules.
(2)Â
Pursuant to C. 46, P.L. 2008, Section 8 (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-329.2)
and the Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Act (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.1
through 40:55D-8.7), COAH is authorized to adopt and promulgate regulations
necessary for the establishment, implementation, review, monitoring
and enforcement of municipal affordable housing trust funds and corresponding
spending plans. Municipalities that are under the jurisdiction of
the Council or court of competent jurisdiction and have a COAH-approved
spending plan may retain fees collected from nonresidential development.
(3)Â
Pursuant to the Executive Reorganization Act of 1969, C. 203,
P.L. 1969 (N.J.S.A. 52:14C-1 et seq.), the Governor abolished COAH
and transferred all functions, powers, and duties to the Commissioner
of the Department of Community Affairs, effective August 29, 2011.
Any and all references to COAH shall mean the Department of Community
Affairs (the Department).
(4)Â
This section establishes standards for the collection, maintenance,
and expenditure of development fees pursuant to the Department's regulations
and in accordance C. 46, P.L. 2008, Sections 8 and 32 through 38.
Fees collected pursuant to this section shall be used for the sole
purpose of providing low- and moderate-income housing. This section
shall be interpreted within the framework of the Department's rules
on development fees, codified at N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
COAH or THE COUNCIL
DEVELOPER
DEVELOPMENT FEE
EQUALIZED ASSESSED VALUE
GREEN BUILDING STRATEGIES
Definitions. The following terms, as used in this section, shall
have the following meanings:
A development included in the Housing Element and Fair Share
Plan, and includes, but is not limited to, an inclusionary development,
a municipal construction project or a one-hundred-percent affordable
development.
The New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing established
under the Fair Housing Act which previously had primary jurisdiction
for the administration of housing obligations in accordance with sound
regional planning consideration in the state. Pursuant to the opinion
and order of the New Jersey Supreme Court dated March 10, 2015, in
the matter of "In re Adoption of N.J.A.C. 5:96 and 5:97 by N.J. Council
on Affordable Housing (M-392-14) 067126," any reference to COAH or
the Council shall be understood to refer to the Superior Court of
New Jersey, Law Division-Bergen County.
The legal or beneficial owner or owners of a lot or of any
land proposed to be included in a proposed development, including
the holder of an option or contract to purchase, or other person having
an enforceable proprietary interest in such land.
Money paid by a developer for the improvement of property
as permitted in N.J.A.C. 5:97-8.3.
The assessed value of a property divided by the current average
ratio of assessed to true value for the municipality in which the
property is situated, as determined in accordance with Sections 1,
5, and 6 of C. 123, P.L. 1973 (N.J.S.A. 54:1-35a through 54:1-35c).
Those strategies that minimize the impact of development
on the environment, and enhance the health, safety and well-being
of residents by producing durable, low-maintenance, resource-efficient
housing while making optimum use of existing infrastructure and community
services.
D.Â
Residential development fees.
(1)Â
Imposed fees.
(a)Â
Within all Borough zoning district(s), residential developers,
except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted
below, shall pay a fee of 1.0% of the equalized assessed value for
residential development, provided no increased density is permitted.
[Amended 3-6-2018 by Ord.
No. 1535]
(b)Â
When an increase in residential density pursuant to N.J.S.A.
40:55D-70d(5) (known as a "d" variance) has been permitted, developers
may be required to pay a development fee of 6% of the equalized assessed
value for each additional unit that may be realized. However, if the
zoning on a site has changed during the two-year period preceding
the filing of such a variance application, the base density for the
purposes of calculating the bonus development fee shall be the highest
density permitted by right during the two-year period preceding the
filing of the variance application.
(2)Â
Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for
residential development.
(a)Â
Affordable housing developments, developments where the developer
is providing for the construction of affordable units elsewhere in
the municipality, and developments where the developer has made a
payment in lieu of on-site construction of affordable units shall
be exempt from development fees.
(b)Â
Developments that have received preliminary or final site plan
approval prior to the adoption of a municipal development fee ordinance
shall be exempt from development fees, unless the developer seeks
a substantial change in the approval. Where a site plan approval does
not apply, a zoning and/or building permit shall be synonymous with
preliminary or final site plan approval for this purpose. The fee
percentage shall be vested on the date that the building permit is
issued.
(c)Â
Owner-occupied residential structures demolished and replaced
as a result of a fire, flood, or natural disaster shall be exempt
from paying a development fee.
(d)Â
Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing
structure is demolished and replaced. The development fee shall be
calculated on the increase in the equalized assessed value of the
improved structure.
(e)Â
Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing
structure undergoes a change to a more intense use, which requires
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, for example, when a single-family
home is converted to a two-family home or a single-family home is
converted to an apartment building. The development fee shall be calculated
on the increase in the equalized assessed value of the improved structure.
(f)Â
Development fees shall be imposed and collected when a certificate
of occupancy is issued for a new residential unit on a newly created
lot that is the result of a subdivision. The development fee shall
be calculated on the equalized assessed value of the land and improvements.
E.Â
Nonresidential development fees. (Note: It should be noted that pursuant
to P.L. 2009, c. 90 and P.L. 2011, c. 122, the nonresidential statewide
development fee of 2.5% for nonresidential development is suspended
for all nonresidential projects that received preliminary or final
site plan approval subsequent to July 17, 2008, until July 1, 2013,
provided that a permit for the construction of the building has been
issued prior to January 1, 2015.).
(1)Â
Imposed fees.
(a)Â
Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except
for developers of the types of development specifically exempted,
shall pay a fee equal to 2.5% of the equalized assessed value of the
land and improvements for all new nonresidential construction on an
unimproved lot or lots.
(b)Â
Nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types
of development specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to
2.5% of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any
additions to existing structures to be used for nonresidential purposes.
(c)Â
Development fees shall be imposed and collected when an existing
structure is demolished and replaced. The development fee of 2.5%
shall be calculated on the difference between the equalized assessed
value of the preexisting land and improvement and the equalized assessed
value of the newly improved structure, i.e., land and improvement
at the time final certificate of occupancy is issued. If the calculation
required under this section results in a negative number, the nonresidential
development fee shall be zero.
(2)Â
Eligible exactions, ineligible exactions and exemptions for
nonresidential development.
(a)Â
The nonresidential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market
rate development shall be subject to the development fee of 2.5% unless
otherwise exempted below.
(b)Â
The fee of 2.5% shall not apply to an increase in equalized
assessed value resulting from alterations, change in use within existing
footprint, reconstruction, renovations and repairs.
(c)Â
Nonresidential developments shall be exempt from the payment
of nonresidential development fees in accordance with the exemptions
required pursuant to C. 46, P.L. 2008, as specified in the Form N-RDF
"State of New Jersey Non-Residential Development Certification/Exemption"
form. Any exemption claimed by a developer shall be substantiated
by that developer.
(d)Â
A developer of a nonresidential development exempted from the
nonresidential development fee pursuant to C. 46, P.L. 2008, shall
be subject to it at such time the basis for the exemption no longer
applies, and shall make the payment of the nonresidential development
fee, in that event, within three years after that event or after the
issuance of the final certificate of occupancy of the nonresidential
development, whichever is later.
(e)Â
If a property which was exempted from the collection of a nonresidential
development fee thereafter ceases to be exempt from property taxation,
the owner of the property shall remit the fees required pursuant to
this section within 45 days of the termination of the property tax
exemption. Unpaid nonresidential development fees under these circumstances
may be enforceable by the Borough of Dumont as a lien against the
real property of the owner.
F.Â
Collection procedures.
(1)Â
Upon the granting of a preliminary, final or other applicable
approval for a development, the applicable approving authority shall
direct its staff to notify the construction official responsible for
the issuance of a building permit.
(2)Â
For nonresidential developments only, the developer shall also
be provided with a copy of Form N-RDF "State of New Jersey Non-Residential
Development Certification/Exemption," to be completed as per the instructions
provided. The developer of a nonresidential development shall complete
Form N-RDF as per the instructions provided. The construction official
shall verify the information submitted by the nonresidential developer
as per the instructions provided in the Form N-RDF. The tax assessor
shall verify exemptions and prepare estimated and final assessments
as per the instructions provided in Form N-RDF.
(3)Â
The construction official responsible for the issuance of a
building permit shall notify the local tax assessor of the issuance
of the first building permit for a development which is subject to
a development fee.
(4)Â
Within 90 days of receipt of that notice, the municipal tax
assessor, based on the plans filed, shall provide an estimate of the
equalized assessed value of the development.
(5)Â
The construction official responsible for the issuance of a
final certificate of occupancy notifies the local assessor of any
and all requests for the scheduling of a final inspection on property
which is subject to a development fee.
(6)Â
Within 10 business days of a request for the scheduling of a
final inspection, the municipal assessor shall confirm or modify the
previously estimated equalized assessed value of the improvements
of the development; calculate the development fee; and thereafter
notify the developer of the amount of the fee.
(7)Â
Should the Borough of Dumont fail to determine or notify the
developer of the amount of the development fee within 10 business
days of the request for final inspection, the developer may estimate
the amount due and pay that estimated amount consistent with the dispute
process set forth in Subsection b of Section 37 of C. 46, P.L. 2008,
(N.J.S.A. 40:55D-8.6).
(8)Â
Fifty percent of the development fee shall be collected at the
time of issuance of the building permit. The remaining portion shall
be collected at the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. The
developer shall be responsible for paying the difference between the
fee calculated at building permit and that determined at issuance
of certificate of occupancy.
(9)Â
Appeal of development fees.
(a)Â
A developer may challenge residential development fees imposed
by filing a challenge with the County Board of Taxation. Pending a
review and determination by the Board, collected fees shall be placed
in an interest-bearing escrow account by the Borough of Dumont. Appeals
from a determination of the Board may be made to the tax court in
accordance with the provisions of the State Tax Uniform Procedure
Law, N.J.S.A. 54:48-1 et seq., within 90 days after the date of such

A developer may challenge nonresidential development fees imposed
by filing a challenge with the Director of the Division of Taxation.
Pending a review and determination by the Director, which shall be
made within 45 days of receipt of the challenge, collected fees shall
be placed in an interest-bearing escrow account by Borough of Dumont.
Appeals from a determination of the Director may be made to the tax
court in accordance with the provisions of the State Tax Uniform Procedure
Law, N.J.S.A. 54:48-1 et seq., within 90 days after the date of such
