 Buying / Selling / Renting a Residential or Non- Residential Property

As of 10/1/2021 an inspection will be required at the change of ownership or rentals. The Code Enforcement Officer will conduct all inspections in which a completed application has been submitted and scheduled. Applications may be found here.

For each and every unit either sold or rented, a Certificate of Compliance will be issued. This certificate is also referred to as a Smoke Certificate used when closing on real estate.
The process is designed to proactively address any deficiencies within and around all properties in the Town of Boonton.

The process is simple and streamlined as to not delay any transfers of ownership or new tenancies. Inspections are conducted every week to ensure a Certificate of Compliance can be issued in a timely manner. The best practice is to submit at least 2 weeks prior to your anticipated closing or rental of tenant space. More information may be found here.
