Residential Certificate of Occupancy (CO)

An Occupancy Certificate is required whenever a change of ownership or residents takes place.  In order to be eligible for an Occupancy Certificate, a dwelling unit must comply with all Township Ordinances, as well as the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code.  The building must be inspected by the Housing Officer prior to issuing an Occupancy Certificate.  Please call  856-299-0780 to make an appointment for an inspection.  The cost for the first inspection is $50.00.  If a second inspection is required, there is no additional cost.  For a third inspection, there is an additional $50.00 inspection fee.

For rental homes built prior to 1979, there is an additional State assessed $20.00 fee for a total fee $75.00.  Residential rental properties built prior to 1979 must have an inspection done by a New Jersey licensed contractor for  lead-based paint; lead safe or lead free certificate.  Visual inspection is not accepted.

  1. Flood Disclosure (Rental Property) – a standalone document with flood disclosure information to be provided by the landlord to the tenant including a signature line within the document, with a font size no smaller than 12-point.
  2. Flood Disclosure (Sale of Property) – Flood disclosure information will be added to the existing property disclosure statement and provided to the purchaser before they are obligated under any contract to purchase the property.

Business Certificate of Occupancy (BCO)

All commercial occupancies require approval to operate.  This approval is granted, after Zoning Officer approval, and after a fee has been paid ($35.00) and all inspections have been satisfied.  A Certificate of Continuing Occupancy (CCO) is also required for every non-residential property whenever a change in occupancy occurs; which involves re-inspections of all areas of life safety.  Construction permits must be obtained for all proposed modifications.

Landlord Registration Form

If you own rental property in Oldmans Township, New Jersey State law requires landlords who rent houses, apartments or buildings to register certain information with the Municipal Clerk where the building is located.  The landlord must display the required information at the property in a place where tenants can see it and the landlord must give this information in writing to each tenant.  The Landlord Identity Registration Form protects both the landlord and the tenant.  The completed form should be given to the Municipal Clerk.
