The Vernon Township Division of Building is within the Vernon Township Department of Planning and Development. Commonly referred to as the building department, it enforces and administers the regulations of the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC).

The UCC is the state’s approved building, plumbing, electrical, fire and mechanical subcodes.

Supervised by a state-licensed construction official, Robert A. Westenberger, this division:

• reviews construction permit applications
• issues construction permits
• inspects construction projects
• coordinates the activities of the subcode officials

You can search properties for open and closed permits and schedule inspections online. Go to our SDL Portal and set up your account.
