CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT

The homeowner is oftentimes confronted with the question as to whether or not a construction permit is required for certain building improvements.  Briefly, it is rather common knowledge that the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code requires a permit for all work involving new construction, renovation, and addition to a structure, which may include but not limited to siding, roofing, a deck, a swimming pool, hot water heater, furnace or boiler, electrical wiring and plumbing.   If you have any question as to whether a permit is needed, call the Ho-Ho-Kus Building Department at 201-652-2826  Monday to Friday 9:00am-12.30pm
