Save $2000 READ THIS!

A phone call or e-mail could save you $2000. That’s right just a phone call or an e-mail. Prior to beginning a “simple” home improvement project, a phone call or e-mail to the Code Enforcement Office can save you a penalty for performing work without a permit.

Penalties for working without permits are mandatory under the NJ Uniform Construction Code and can be assessed for up to $2000.

How do you get caught? Typically work done without permits comes up during a home inspection or disclosure prior to a property transaction.

Some projects that absolutely do not need a permit are listed below:

• Painting.
• Residential floor covering.
• Replacing a light fixture without installing new wiring.
• Replacing a plumbing fixture without installing new piping.

Some projects that absolutely require a permit:

• Decks
• Finished Basements
• Kitchen alterations
• Bathroom alterations
• Water heaters

So save yourself a costly penalty and the probability of removing the work for inspections and contact us first.
