N.J. Admin. Code § 19:31G-1.4
Any expenditure of grant monies by a public entity for a remedial action in a brownfield development area for real property in which the public entity does not have an ownership interest shall constitute a debt of the real property owner to the fund. The authority shall cause to be filed in the county recording office of the county in which the real property is located a notice of lien listing the name of the real property owner, a description of the real property subject to the remedial action and an identification of the amount of the grant awarded from the fund. The notice of lien shall have priority over all other claims or liens which have been filed against the real property, except as provided in the act. The lien shall be removed upon transfer of ownership of the real property to the public entity that expended grant monies for remedial action on that real property.
