Resident services

Start with the right office

Use the office that administers the request or application. Contacting the consulting engineer does not submit an application, issue a permit or schedule a service request.

Before excavation: A Borough permit does not replace New Jersey One Call. The person performing the excavation must contact 811 or 1-800-272-1000 at least three full business days before digging and wait for the required responses and mark-outs. Engineering review does not replace another required Borough, county, State or utility approval.
