Our goal is to achieve positive social, economic and environmental outcomes, with our five divisions working cooperatively to assure North Brunswick remains a healthy and vibrant community. The Department of Community Development is the township’s lead agency in developing and maintaining an active and sustainable community through careful planning, zoning, housing policy, and compliance with local, state and federal regulations.

We experience a high call volume and will certainly return your call if you leave a message. Questions may be submitted through the email link on the department home page, or by calling the construction office at x450, the zoning office at x440, or the fire marshal office at x453. The department is temporarily operating out of a satellite office at 486 Old Georges Road that is open to the public by appointment. Mail is collected from the drop box twice a day. Permit applications may be delivered by regular mail, overnight mail, e-mail when payments are not required, and most popularly the drop box in the employee parking lot of the municipal building.

All permit application documents and instructions can be found on our department pages. The Department of Community Development allows residents to find information and secure all necessary permits through a combination of the municipal website, e-mail, and phone.
