CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT NEWS
In an effort to improve the level of service to our residents, the Township has entered into a shared services agreement with the Township of Montville for Construction Department Services. Effective January 1, 2019 all construction services including applications and issuance of construction permits and scheduling and performance of inspections will be administered through the Montville Township’s Construction Office.
This shared service agreement now provides Boonton Township residents with a full-time Construction Department staff – 8:30AM to 4:30PM Monday through Friday, a significant expansion beyond the limited hours of 2 to 3 hours twice a week for inspections. Having access to multiple, full-time inspectors will also provide for more opportunities to schedule inspections quickly.
