New Jersey Statutes Title 5. Amusements, Public Exhibitions and Meetings 5 § 10A-15

The county clerk or register of deeds and mortgages shall not accept for filing any subdivision plat for lands in the district unless it bears the certification of approval of the commission in addition to all other requirements for filing a subdivision plat. If the commission has not taken action on an application within the period required by section 13 of P.L.2015, c. 19 (C.5:10A-13), at the request of the developer, the commission shall certify such fact upon the plat. This certification shall be sufficient authorization for further action by the municipal approving authority and filing with the appropriate county recording officer.
