There are no precisely defined boundary lines to let you know you are in "South Jersey". Don't be concerned however, because you will definitely know, or someone will definitely let you know, when you get there. All kidding aside, if you were to draw a line from Trenton on the far western edge (Delaware River) Eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, the area below this line south to Cape May Lewes Ferry is "South Jersey".
What benefits are there to using a Realtor team with over 30 years of experience in horses when buying or selling a horse property? Below are some of the reasons.
ZONING - When purchasing a horse farm there are certain requirements in many Townships here in New Jersey providing for a minimum amount of acreage to support horses. This is first and foremost in your search.
There are three distinct zoning circumstances depending on
your situation. They are land and zoning requirements to build a new horse property, land and zoning requirements to simply keep horses on a particular property, and finally, land and zoning requirements to be farmland assessed. In reality, some or all of these situations overlap.
First scenario, building a horse farm from scratch. Under this scenario, most Townships in The Pinelands have a density requiremnt that mandates approximately a (5) acre minimum to build. We are not sure, but we think this also allows for a septic system as well as preserving acreage in the protection zone of the Pinelands. One possible way around this particular requirement is a situation where for example, your site only has (3) acres. You may purchase & deed restrict (2) more acres within the boundary lines of the same Township. Deed restricting these two acres for all time as preserved land. Keep in mind you and all future owners under this situation will be responsible for the taxes on both parcels (the deed restricted ground typically carries with it a very very small annual property tax). This satisfies the Pineland Commissions goal of preservation of open land, and allows you to build.
Second scenario, you just want to be able to bring your horse with you. Under this scenario, you really must check with the specific local Township Official in the town the home is located. For example, here in Waterford Township the horse ordinance requires one (1) acre for the first two (2) horses and 10,000 sq. ft. for each additional horse. Since there are 43,560 sq. ft. in an acre, you would be permitted four (4) more horses for each additional acre after the first. Under this particular ordinance, common sense, and good horsemanship would indicate that six (6) horses on two (2) acres with the house & barn would be an unhealthy situation mainly for the horses, but also for the humans. Virtually impossible to maintain any type of pasture, and manure management would require trucking off site.
Third scenario, you just want to be farmland assessed. Under this scenario, many local Township Offices require a minimum of six (6) acres. One (1) acre for the house and an additional five(5) acres to be used "agriculturally". There are many uses that fall into this category, and the production must meet a minimum dollar amount per year as well. For example, if you breed horses and sell a colt for a couple thousand dollars one year, you have met the requirement in most local Townships. The dollar amount in our Town is $500 / year. So, Christmas Trees, goats, chickens, etc. all qualify. In our Town there is a long form and two (2) year wait period before you receive the tax break. There is a very complicated mathmatical formula used to calculate farmland assessed. Also be aware of possible rollback taxes. If you purchase a property that you believe to be farmland assessed and the seller did not keep up with the annual paperwork (or after owning the property you do not keep up the paperwork) the property will fall out of farmland assessed status, and the Township will bill you with an upcharge equal to the amount of taxes you would have owed if the property was not agriculture assessed. The Township will typically go back several years and charge this additional tax all at once.
