Accuracy of this data is not guaranteed, it may contain errors, and may not be complete. Data for permits issued in the immediate previous two months has not been reviewed. Note that this is the raw unaudited data, and may vary from the official published information in the monthly and annual Construction Reporter, as the official report contains corrected data, and the official report does not include updates received after the date of publication.
We have no data for these municipalities: ANDOVER BOROUGH SUSSEX 1901, LAKEHURST OCEAN 1513, LOWER ALLOWAYS CREEK SALEM 1704 NATIONAL PARK GLOUCESTER 0812, PINE BEACH OCEAN 1522, VICTORY GARDENS MORRIS 1437, WALPACK SUSSEX 1923 WINFIELD UNION 2021
Note
We've added Treasury Municipality Code to this dataset, and separated the Municipality Name in to Muni Name and Muni Type. Note 2: Questions on individual permit records, or information on individual properties should be directed to the office or agency which originally issued the permit. Note 3: This is raw data.
An audited and summarized version of this infomation is available at nj.gov/dca/codes/reporter/building_permits.shtml . Note 4: Please be advised that this is the complete copy of our database. We do not have any additional fields for this data.
We do not get property address, geocoding, owner names, type of work. What we have here is all we get. Any additional information would have to be requested from the agency which issued the permit.
