Code Enforcement

Numbering of commercial & residential buildings: All commercial and residential buildings established within the Township shall be subject to being numbered for proper identification, especially for reasons of expediency in fire, police and medical emergencies. If you have any questions, please call 973-383-7025, Ext. #222 for further details.

Accessory Structures: If you are planning to add a storage building, shed or other accessory structure (e.g., a swimming pool) including a membrane structure a zoning permit is required. Additionally, fencing requires a zoning permit. If what you are planning to add either permanently or temporarily is located on the ground a zoning permit is required and perhaps a building permit.

When planning, be sure to keep clear of water supply, gas lines and septic systems.
