The Mendham Borough Construction Department utilizes the State Department of Community Affairs Construction Permit Application Packet & Related Forms. Please fill out all required application forms from the State site. Please print your completed application forms and deposit the hard copy of your application forms in the Drop Box at the front of the Bowers Building, 6 W Main St. 07945. Completed applications forms may also be sent via US Mail or other delivery service. The Borough cannot accept application forms electronically due to the State mandating a raised Contractor Seal on most forms. The New Jersey Uniform Construction Code Act allows 20 working days for the review and issuing of a construction permit. THE 20 DAYS STARTS WHEN A COMPLETE APPLICATION IS RECEIVED & ALL PRIOR REQUIRED ZONING, ENGINEERING, ENVIROMENTAL, UTILITIES & LAND USE OR PLANNING APPROVALS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED. All prior approvals must be obtained before a construction permit can be issued. Prior Approvals include: Zoning Review; Historic Preservation Commission; Engineering Review; Joint Land Use Board (Planning & Board of Adjustment); NJDEP; Utility Companies; Morris County Soil Conservation; Mendham Commons Home Owner Association. The size and scope of the construction project will determine the length of time for the review process--i.e.. a single Sub-Code permit will take less time than a Multiple Sub-Code permit. Due to required prior approvals additions & alterations can take several weeks, a new home can take several months due to Board & Commission Meeting Schedules. The completeness of the information submitted with your permit can greatly assist with all review and approval process.
