Request for Use of NJDEP Property

"*" indicates required fields

The NJDEP is responsible for managing over 800,000 acres of land for recreation, conservation and ecological purposes, as well as preserving natural and cultural resources on those lands. The NJDEP holds these lands and resources in the public trust. Therefore, all proposed uses of NJDEP property must be carefully assessed for their benefits to the public and the effects on natural and cultural resources.

The use of NJDEP lands by a public or private entity, whether permanent or temporary, requires specific permission from the NJDEP. Although NJDEP lands can serve many purposes, certain uses conflict with or are incompatible with the NJDEP's mission. In these instances, requests to use NJDEP property will be denied.

If permission to use NJDEP property is given, it may take the form of a lease, license, or land exchange. Additionally, compensation at or above market value will be required and the requestor may need to submit additional information for this purpose.

The Request for Use of NJDEP Property Form is a preliminary screening tool that allows the NJDEP to track requests from one intake point and to ensure that all requests are referred to the appropriate point(s) of contact for review and disposition. After an initial review, the requestor will be contacted about whether the NJDEP wishes to proceed with the request.
