"The payment of appropriate fees" 5:23-2.14(a) Failure to obtain Construction Permits Please be aware that there can be violations/fines if any address has had work completed without the proper permits and approvals. Even if there is a permit in the office awaiting the payment, you are still guilty of work without a permit. When submitting building plans/drawings, two sets are required. Once permit is issued, the contractor/homeowner will receive the field copy that must be kept on site for all inspections.

Any "emergency" permits must be received by our office within 72 hours as well as providing the office with notice.
