Zoning/Code Enforcement

For your safety, display the address number on your property!

Here are 10 steps to properly display your 9-1-1 address.

Prior to applying for a building permit in the Township Construction Office a zoning permit is required from the Community Development Office. To obtain a zoning permit for property improvements such as sheds, fences, decks, additions (family rooms, sunrooms, etc.), porches, swimming pools (in ground and above ground), signs, patios, and others, the owner or contractor must first bring two (2) copies to scale of the property survey and all other information pertaining to the proposed improvement to the Community Development Office. Upon review and determination that there is compliance with all Township regulations, a zoning permit will be issued. An application fee of $35 i the form of a check or money order (payable to "Township of Bordentown") must be provided when the zoning permit application is submitted.

Bordentown Township welcomes new businesses! If you are considering opening a new business, it is strongly encouraged that you first check to see if the planned business type complies with Township zoning regulations. Submit a Proposed Business in Bordentown  Worksheet to the Community Development Office.  Owners of commercial space should also complete an application for a Change in Commercial Tenancy Approval.
