Application Forms
Construction Permit / Jacket
All Building Departments in the State of New Jersey are required to use state application forms. Each application is required to have a “jacket” which is referred to as the Construction Permit Application page.
If you are looking to add an addition to your/a home, you may be subject to a COAH development fee. This includes expanding the footprint of your home (expanding "out) as well as building "up" (i.e. adding a second floor)
As per “Article 4.7 - Affordable Housing Development Fees” of the Township Code, which is the Township’s Court approved Affordable Housing Development Fee Ordinance that was adopted on November 6, 2017, a development fee is imposed on residents looking to put additions on their homes, and on developers constructing residential developments. An overview of the collection of affordable housing development fees to be deposited in the Township’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund can be found here.
