NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Change in New Jersey Legal Notice Publication Requirements

Please be advised that effective March 1, 2026, New Jersey law changes the way legal notices are published by public entities and applicants for development and approvals.

Under this new law, legal notices that were previously published in printed newspapers will now be published on the official website of the Township of Byram. This change is intended to increase public access, transparency, and reduce publication costs.

 What This Means for the Public:

1. Legal notices will be available online at no cost
2. Notices will be posted on the official website of the Township of Byram
3. Notices will remain accessible for the legally required time period and will be archived for future reference
4. During the transition period in 2026, notices directing the public to the website will also appear in online news publications

 Where to Find Legal Notices:

Beginning March 1, 2026, all legal notices may be found at:

👉 https://www.byramtwp.org/index.php.notices .  In addition, the State of New Jersey will maintain a centralized online directory linking to all participating public entity legal notice pages https://www.nj.gov/state/statewide-legal-notices-list.shtml.

For assistance accessing legal notices or for questions regarding this change, please contact:

Cynthia Church, Byram Township Clerk
