A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009.

The severe recession and banking crisis that dominated the financial markets at the start of 2009 appear to have moderated as of mid-year. Previously frozen credit markets have thawed, giving businesses and municipalities access to the capital they need.After reaching multi-year lows early in the year, municipal bond markets staged an impressive rally led by higher-yielding segments, while U.S. Treasury securities gave back some of their 2008 gains.While the U.S. economy remains weak overall, we have seen encouraging evidence of potential recovery, including a recovering housing market and the positive impact of the U.S government’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 on the municipal markets. Meanwhile, inflation has remained tame in the face of high unemployment and unused manufacturing capacity. Although these developments give us reasons for optimism, we remain cautious due to the speed and magnitude of the municipal bond market’s 2009 rebound. Indeed, the market’s advance was fueled more by investors’ renewed appetites for risk than improving economic funda-mentals.We would prefer to see a steadier rise in asset prices supported by more concrete economic data, as the rapid rise increases the possibility that profit-taking could move the market lower. In uncertain markets such as this one, even the most seasoned investors can benefit from professional counsel.To determine how your investments should be positioned for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,we continue to stress that you talk regularly with your financial advisor.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the Portfolio Managers.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009, as provided by Joseph P. Darcy and James Welch, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund’s Class A, B, C, I and Z shares produced total returns of 7.21%, 6.94%, 6.81%, 7.30% and 7.22%, respectively.1 In comparison, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 6.42% for the same period.2

Municipal bonds generally rallied over the reporting period as credit markets stabilized and investors looked forward to better economic times.The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark, primarily due to strong performance among higher yielding bonds.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal and New Jersey personal income taxes.To pursue its goal, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio normally exceeds 10 years.

We may buy and sell bonds based on credit quality, market outlook and yield potential. In selecting municipal bonds for investment, we may assess the current interest-rate environment and the municipal bond’s potential volatility in different rate environments.We focus on bonds with the potential to offer attractive current income, typically looking for bonds that we believe can consistently provide attractive current yields or that are trading at competitive market prices.A portion of the fund’s assets may be allocated to “discount” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price below their face value, or to “premium” bonds, which are bonds that sell at a price above their face value.The fund’s allocation to either discount bonds or to premium bonds will change along with our changing views

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

of the current interest-rate and market environment.We also may look to select bonds that are most likely to obtain attractive prices when sold.

Municipal Bonds Rallied as Credit Markets Stabilized

Early in 2009, the municipal bond market remained volatile in the midst of a global financial crisis that produced challenging liquidity conditions in fixed-income markets and punished a number of financial institutions, including municipal bond insurers and dealers. In addition, the U.S. economy continued to struggle with a recession as home values plunged, unemployment rates soared and consumer confidence fell.

However, investor sentiment soon began to improve as investors gained confidence that aggressive measures by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and the U.S. government would be effective in repairing the credit markets.The Fed had injected massive amounts of liquidity into the banking system and reduced short-term interest rates to an unprecedented low of 0% to 0.25%, while Congress enacted the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Investors began to look forward to better economic and market conditions, and municipal bonds rallied through the reporting period’s end.

Despite investors’ renewed optimism, New Jersey has remained hard-hit by the recession.Tax revenues have fallen while demand for services has intensified, putting pressure on state and local budgets. Unfunded pension obligations may put additional pressure on the state’s finances.

Income-Oriented Bonds Bolstered Performance

The market rally was particularly robust among income-oriented municipal bonds that had been hard-hit in 2008. Securities backed by airlines, health care facilities and New Jersey’s settlement of litigation with U.S. tobacco companies bounced back when investors became more tolerant of risks.As it became clearer to us early in the reporting period that the market rally was sustainable, we maintained the fund’s exposure to these higher yielding holdings, which complement the fund’s core positions in high-quality municipal bonds.

We maintained generally defensive interest rate strategies in an effort to guard against bouts of heightened volatility.We set the fund’s weighted average duration in a range that was roughly in line with industry aver-

ages to reduce risks associated with supply-and-demand dynamics. Moreover, we focused on bonds with maturities toward the longer end of the market’s intermediate-term range, which provided most of the yield of longer-maturity bonds but with significantly less volatility.

Maintaining a Disciplined Approach

We have maintained a disciplined approach to security selection, conducting in-depth research into individual municipal bonds and issuers to identify those positioned to weather the downturn’s lingering effects, including the possibility of reduced state aid to New Jersey localities. Consequently, when making new purchases, we have favored securities backed by pledged tax appropriations or revenues from essential services facilities.

While it appears short-term interest rates will remain anchored at current low levels for some time due to lingering economic weakness, we are concerned about rising interest-rate volatility over the long-term due to potentially heightened inflation anxiety and record amounts of U.S. Treasury issuance. As such, we expect to maintain a neutral duration posture.

1      Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Class Z and Class I shares are not subject to any initial or deferred sales charge. Each share class is subject to a different sales charge and distribution expense structure and will achieve different returns. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject to state and local taxes for non-New Jersey residents, and some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable. Return figures provided for Class A, B and C shares reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses pursuant to an agreement by The Dreyfus Corporation which may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice to shareholders. Had these expenses not been absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment       
assuming actual returns for the six months ended June 30, 2009     
  Class A  Class B  Class C  Class I  Class Z 
Expenses paid per $1,000  $4.37  $6.93  $8.20  $3.50  $4.21 
Ending value (after expenses)  $1,072.10  $1,069.40  $1,068.10  $1,073.00  $1,072.20 

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment       
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended June 30, 2009 
  Class A  Class B  Class C  Class I  Class Z 
Expenses paid per $1,000  $4.26  $6.76  $8.00  $3.41  $4.11 
Ending value (after expenses)  $1,020.58  $1,018.10  $1,016.86  $1,021.42  $1,020.73 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .85% for Class A, 1.35% for Class B, 1.60% for Class C, .68% for Class I and .82% for Class Z, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and New Jersey personal income taxes, as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 675 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers five classes of shares: Class A (200 million shares authorized), Class B (150 million shares authorized), Class C (150 million shares authorized), Class I (150 million shares authorized) and Class Z (25 million shares authorized). Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. The fund does not offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Fund 33


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange of which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

The fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “FairValue Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to FAS 157.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. 
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted 
prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, 
credit risk, etc.). 
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own 
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). 

34


The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2009 in valuing the fund’s investments:

    Level 2—Other  Level 3—   
  Level 1—  Significant  Significant   
  Quoted  Observable  Unobservable   
  Prices  Inputs  Inputs  Total 
Assets ($)         
Investments in Securities:       
Municipal Bonds    578,253,097    578,253,097 
Other Financial         
   Instruments         
Liabilities ($)         
Other Financial         
   Instruments         

Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap contracts and options contracts.Amounts shown represent unrealized appreciation (depreciation), or in the case of options, market value at period end.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies or municipalities may affect the

The Fund 35


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends from investment income-net on each business day. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended June 30, 2009, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $2,849,355 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2008. If not applied, $803,681 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2011, $97,441 expires in fiscal 2014, $822,282 expires in fiscal 2015 and $1,125,951 expires in fiscal 2016.

36


The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was as follows: tax exempt income $26,096,393 and ordinary income $9,897.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $145 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank,N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of Facility fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of the borrowing.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $4,000, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.47%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has undertaken, until shareholders are given at least 90 days’ notice to the contrary, if the aggregate expenses of the fund (exclusive of taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, commitment fees, shareholder services fees and Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees and extraordinary expenses) exceed .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, the fund may deduct from the payments to be made to the Manager under the Agreement, or the Manager will bear such excess expense. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $237,143 during the period ended June 30, 2009.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .50% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended June 30, 2009, Class B and Class C shares were charged $3,296 and $22,448 respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.
