Data received as of 5/7/2024. N.J.A.C. 5:23-4.5 (d) requires municipalities to report to DCA monthly, information on each construction permit issued. Contains information about construction permits issued in New Jersey, including demolition permits. Data is collected from most, but not all municipalities that issue permits. It is processed and updated monthly. Data is purged from this dataset after 60 months have elapsed since the data was received. 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: ALPHA WARREN 2102, ANDOVER BOROUGH SUSSEX 1901, LAKEHURST OCEAN 1513, NATIONAL PARK GLOUCESTER 0812, PINE BEACH OCEAN 1522, QUINTON SALEM 1711, VICTORY GARDENS MORRIS 1437, WINFIELD UNION 2021, WOODLYNNE CAMDEN 0437 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 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 https://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/reporter/building_permits.html . 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.
