New Jersey A3200 establishes a 20-year adverse possession period for property rights.

New Jersey A3200 amends the state's adverse possession laws by setting a 20-year period for establishing property rights. This bill clarifies that adverse possession does not apply to publicly-owned property used for public or transportation purposes, environmental, recreational, governmental, educational, charitable, institutional, or other similar purposes, or held in public trust. It also exempts public utilities from adverse possession claims. For previously tidal-flowed property, a 40-year adverse possession period is required.
