Recent changes to what is considered normal maintenance pursuant to the Uniform Construction Code no longer mandate construction permits for the installation of siding for one and two family detached dwellings (except for polypropylene) and the replacement of roofs for one and two family detached dwellings. 

It is very important to note that all siding and roof replacements for all structures located in a Historic District still require Historic Commission review and approval before the work can commence.  Below is map  showing the various districts.   To determine if you property is within an Historic District or for further information please contact via email Vincent Dominach at  or 732-873-2500 (ext. 6274)

Understanding Conservation Easement Brochure

A conservation easement is piece of land dedicated to protect specific environmentally sensitive features such as streams and wetlands. This is done by limiting the type and amount of development that may take place on or near an important environmental resource. This restriction stays with the land and each new owner of the property must abide by the terms of the easement. The conservation easement must remain in a natural state and not be used or altered in any way. This includes the building of structures, placing of fences, and mowing of grass. The easement area is intended to remain undisturbed and forever wild.
