Building Department Announces New Inspection Scheduling Procedure

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs recently adopted several changes to the Uniform Construction Code Regulations. One of them is how inspection requests must be made for Construction Permits. Written notifications are now the only way to request an inspection by all Building Departments in New Jersey.

In order for Hillsborough Permit holders to comply with this new change, inspection requests may be submitted through the SDL Portal. For those who do not use the SDL Portal, the Building Department has created a, “Construction Permit Inspection Request,” form to complete, and submit to a dedicated email address, or drop off in person. Beginning Monday, May 13, 2024, either method is to be used for all inspection requests. The SDL Portal inspection request option and the, “Construction Permit Inspection Request,”form will both be available that day on the Department’s web page to utilize.
