All home improvement contractors, unless specifically exempted, must be registered with the State of New Jersey.  As defined by the statute, a home improvement contractor is anyone who engages in the business of making or selling home improvements including remodeling, altering, renovating, repairing, restoring, modernizing, moving, and/or demolishing.  Application forms are available either in the Construction Office or from the State.  Please note: The Township is forbidden by law to issue a construction permit to any home improvement contractor who is required to be registered and is not registered.  For more information about home improvement contractor registration go to the State of New Jersey’s website:
