The Woodbury Code Enforcement Office consists of the following departments:

The Construction Department is responsible to enforce the Building Codes adopted by the Department of Community Affairs of the State of New Jersey.

The Woodbury office is the designated Inter Local Agency Construction Office for the towns of Woodbury, Woodbury Heights, Westville and Wenonah.

Whenever construction is planned, you should obtain a permit packet from the Construction Office in advance so that you may obtain the proper information for what is required to be submitted and the procedure to follow. This way you may plan your construction schedule accordingly.

Usually applications submitted for minor work such as roofing, siding, electric service, water & sewer replacement connections (structure to curb), water heaters, etc., are issued right away. If the Principal Tech Asst. is not in the office at the time of drop off, the issuing of minor permits will be a few days and you will be notified when ready.

The State allows 20 business days to process all permit applications. As a courtesy we try to issue minor permit applications immediately. Applications that are not minor may also require prior approvals. These applicants must allow adequate time to obtain all the necessary prior approvals and for the paperwork and the review processes.

There may be prior approvals required depending on the type of work. you will be undertaking. Prior approvals are required to be completed before the construction permit processing begins. Here are some examples where prior approval may be required:

Local: Zoning, Combined Planning/Zoning Board, Historical Preservation Commission, water & sewer requirement

County: Soil Conservation, Planning Board, Board of Health, M.U.A., DEP

State : DEP, DOT, Wetlands
