I think something like 2 weeks. I can't recall exactly, but that time frame comes to mind -- they all (building, plumbing, electrical) were approved at the same time. |

Our plumbing permit took about 15 minutes.

Melicious,
Turn around time for permits vary from town to town depending on activity. The town should make every effort to expedite a permit such as yours as long as you complete the application correctly. That was the short answer. The long answer is it depends on the enforcing agency and how well they adhear to the state regulations. The submission of application, and declaring all the subs that are working on the job, as well as three sets of plans would be a great start. The town is bound by the state regulations for expediting said permit applications as well as required inspections. The information you are looking for can be obtained through the DCA (department of Community Affairs), and can also be viewed at your local building department. The actual regulations, if you want to look them up are N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.15 Construction permits-application on the top left of page 23-13 under (1) Release of plans;
Basically they have 20 business days to approve or not to approve the plans you submit. |

Big difference also if your doing a direct replacement versus moving fixtures around.Some towns also want new 3/4" risers [which isn't a bad thing]which can be somewhat problematic.ie:expensive. |

We were building a bathroom from scratch, so it also may be a different experience/wait time than just gutting an existing one. |

We live in South Orange. When we did a 3 story addition last year the process took about 2 1/2 weeks. This year we applied for a permit to winterize our screened-in porch. They reviewed the application for the full 21 days, told us we needed additional info (really basic stuff) and then took another 21 days to issue the permit. And this permit for the silly porch cost $100 MORE than the permit for the entire addition that included 2 bathrooms & a kitchen renovation.
Go figure. |
