Looking to build in Jackson? You may soon have to wait weeks or even months to get a permit application back.
TLS has learned that Building Sub Code Official Wayne Kierce will soon be retiring, and there is nobody to take his place.
Officials stated that the Township has been seeking for a replacement, but nobody qualified applied for the job – reportedly due to the pay
As a result, until a replacement is found, all building permit applications will need to go through Trenton – which means it could take six weeks or longer to receive a response.
6 weeks for a permit in Jackson is quick, therefore Trenton is an upgrade!!
6 weeks till they look at it , 6 months for the actual permit.
If they exceed 20 business day they are in violation of the NJ code which requires all plans to be reviewed within that time frame. Please visit the states website for more info.
