CAFRA, Coastal Areas Facilities Act, permitting


What is CAFRA?
In 1973, New Jersey enacted the Coastal Areas Facilities Act (CAFRA), which is designed to protect the vital shore areas of New Jersey from being overdeveloped. In accordance with CAFRA, residential development, commercial development, industrial development, and public development in these areas are regulated through permitting from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

The CAFRA zone extends through eight counties of New Jersey, from the coastline of Middlesex County south to Cape May County, west following the Delaware River to Salem County.
