The Moorestown Construction Office is responsible for construction permits, plan reviews, inspections and code compliance as allowed by the State of New Jersey and the Township of Moorestown Code.

Mission

Our mission is to enforce the regulations and codes under our jurisdiction with diligence, fairness, helpfulness, thoroughness, and integrity while acting professionally and respectfully. Whether you are an experienced contractor, builder, or homeowner performing your first construction project, we are here to help you navigate the permitting and inspection process. 

Most homeowners will undertake some sort of home improvement project while living in their home, but applying for a permit from the construction department can be intimidating to those who have never done it before.

Getting Started

This information packet has been designed to assist homeowners to prepare their permit application when they are undertaking a remodeling project themselves for their own private residence such as kitchen remodels, bathrooms, bedrooms, main living areas, adding closets, etc. 

Whether you are planning on doing the work yourself or hiring a contractor, our Homeowner's Guide to Applying for a Permit will assist you so that your application process can go smoothly.
