We are contemplating an addition to our home, how large can it be without a variance or public hearing being required?
Any project larger than a single family residence addition completed by the owner generally requires professional assistance from a qualified Architect or Engineer. In the case of owner-construction, first look up your block and lot number on the tax maps available in the ordinance, the Clerk's Office, or on ROSENET. Second, look up your zone designation on the zoning map. Third, look at the bulk requirements related to the zone in the ordinance. Fourth, look at special restrictions of the zone or on the type of construction proposed. Fifth, look at Uniform Construction Code and Fire Code restrictions.

Finally, submit legible scaled plans of the addition and location of the addition for review and comment by qualified Borough Officials. For more information, please contact Engineering by phone at 973-593-3060.
