Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 7:1L-2.5

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

(a) The determination that an application is a "completed application" depends in part upon the submission of the requisite fee. Accordingly, if an applicant fails to pay an installment of a permit application fee when the installment is due, the application will no longer be considered a "completed application" until the installment is paid.

(b) In determining when the time allotted to the Department to approve, condition or disapprove an application for a permit under any law or regulation (including, without limitation, N.J.S.A. 13:1D-31 and 32) expires, the running of that time shall be considered suspended during the period in which an application is temporarily not considered a "completed application" pursuant to (a) above.

(c) If an applicant fails to pay an installment of a permit application fee when the installment is due, that non-payment is grounds for the Department to suspend its review of the permit until the installment is paid.

(d) If an applicant has not yet paid an installment of a permit application fee within 20 calendar days after payment was due, that non-payment is grounds for the Department to deny the application.

(e) If within 120 calendar days after a denial for non-payment under (d) above, the Department receives a written request from the applicant stating that the applicant desires to reinstate the application, then:

1. The original application will be deemed to have been resubmitted as a new application, and any time limit for reaching a decision on the application will again be allotted to the Department in full; and

2. The fees that the applicant paid in connection with the original application shall be credited toward the new application.

(f) Fees may be credited under (e)2 above only for the first resubmittal under (e)1 above.
