The Construction Office is responsible for the issuance of all construction permits, the inspections of those permits, and Certificate of Occupancy inspections. The office is located in the Municipal Building, upstairs, and may be accessed by the stairs at the right hand side of the building.

Home Improvements:  Homeowners may do any work in a home which is their primary residence.  If it is a rental unit you MUST have a NJ licensed electrician and/or plumber do the related work.  If permits are required for the work you will be doing, they are required for the work being done, not based on who is doing the work. Permits are required in just about all instances, but if you are unsure, please call the office. 

If you are considering finishing your basement, please remember; without proper egress, no bedrooms are allowed.  Direct access to the outside is required.  This is accomplished by either a door at least 32" wide, or a window  with a sill ht. 44" from the floor, with a net clear opening of 5 sq. feet.

Please keep in mind, if you do work without permits, and there is a problem such as a fire, not only do you risk serious injury but you may have a problem with your insurance claim. The permit fees are inexpensive, and the inspections are for your, and future owners, safety.

If you have pool questions, we have a pool packet that can be picked up any time, which should answer all your questions. Pools require Zoning approval and Building and Electrical permits (plumbing required if it is to have a heater.)  If you are wondering about a installing a shed, a permit and Zoning approval are required for over 100 sq. ft only (over 10 x 10). Under 100 sq. ft. requires Zoning approval for placement on the property only. Decks require Zoning approval and a permit.  Of course, all questions can be answered if you care to call the office during the hours listed.  All permits are currently a minimum fee of $40.00.

 

Home Improvements:  Remember to check with the Zoning Officer before starting any construction of home improvements such as sheds, pools, or decks. All homes must meet building code standards set for living space.
