How permitting works in New Jersey

New Jersey counties do not have a role in issuing building permits. State law mandates that every municipality (Township, Borough, or City) must provide for enforcement, either through its own department or an agreement with another municipality, completely bypassing the county government.

Municipalities enforce; State handles complex builds.
