Under N.J.S.A. 46:8C-1 et seq. § 46:8C-12.1, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs is required to publish and keep current on its website a list of nonprofit organizations that have asked to be notified when land in a private residential leasehold community is put up for sale or when a landowner receives a bona fide purchase offer they intend to act on. The department must add newly qualifying nonprofits to the list within 90 days of receiving their request. This provision creates a transparency mechanism designed to give preservation-focused nonprofits early awareness of potential ownership changes in affordable housing communities.

Landowners of private residential leasehold communities should be aware that N.J.S.A. 46:8C-1 et seq. § 46:8C-12.1 establishes a publicly accessible registry of nonprofits that have opted in to receive sale-related notifications. Operators who are familiar with this list are generally better positioned to understand which organizations may have an interest when a sale or offer situation arises under the broader statutory framework. Reviewing the Department of Community Affairs website periodically can help property owners stay informed about which nonprofits are registered under this provision.
