Selling a home in Middlesex County or elsewhere in New Jersey? If the property once used heating oil, it may have a buried underground storage tank (UST), even if the home was converted to natural gas years ago. 🏡
Before signing a listing agreement, consider checking:
• Whether a professional tank sweep and available property records identify a buried tank.
• Whether soil testing is recommended based on the tank’s condition, history, or location.
• Whether the tank needs removal or approved abandonment, and whether NJDEP reporting or oversight may apply.
Unresolved tank questions can add cost or delay to a traditional sale and may lead to buyer or lender hesitation. Requirements, municipal processes, and remediation needs vary by property, so checking early can help you understand your options.
This is general educational information, not legal, environmental, or financial advice. Consult appropriately licensed professionals for guidance specific to your property; requirements and timelines vary.
