There are two deadlines: one to call the application complete, one to decide. New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law puts a limit on how long a town board can hold an application before it says yes or no. What the law does not do is set a pace inside the limit, and that is why two towns can take very different amounts of time on the same kind of project. https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-builder-or-listing.html https://southjerseynewconstruction.com/news/sjnc-guide-builder-or-listing.html Thu, 08 Oct 2026 16:00:00 GMT Resource Selling a lot to a builder and listing it on the market are two different shapes, and they run on different clocks.

Buyers also look at open acres, at land with a building on it, and at land the town has not approved homes on yet. Land does not usually have to be cleared, have utilities run to it, or have homes approved before a buyer will look at it.
